Yellowstone Lake State Park #23

We visited Yellowstone Lake State Park on a calm but overcast day. The lake itself is beautiful, surrounded by rolling, green hills, at times on this day, blue skies. At this point, G asks to visit a state park every weekend, which is good, because that is what our plans generally are for the weekend!

We hiked the Wildlife Trail, which follows the lake shore and wetlands on the north side of the park, and affords a great view of the lake and beach. There were a lot of people fishing along the first part of this trail, which of course prompted a lot of questions from G. Luckily, no one seemed to be offended by a barrage of questions about their chosen activity that afternoon!

The trail also runs through wetlands and a wooded area, so there is a lot to experience in just one hike. We also swam at the beach, which was moderately busy, but with a nice, sandy bottom. There were a lot of people using their boats on the lake, (and having a great time, I was only slightly envious). A nice park, and one we might revisit in the future. Next stop, (and our next attempt at camping),  Big Bay State Park!
