Shoshone Lake

During the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition, the party camped at the north end of the lake on 29 September 1869, but did not refer to it by name in their journals.They did however incorrectly believe at the time that Shoshone Lake was the source of the Firehole and Madison Rivers.[7] Hot springs and mudpots dot the landscape between the geyser basin and the lake.[9] Boating on Shoshone Lake is restricted to hand-powered craft only, which means Float tubes, Kayaks or Canoes.The DeLacy Creek trail provides access to the northern and eastern shoreline via the Grand Loop Road near Craig Pass.
