Yellowstone Lake Kayaking in Yellowstone National Park - 1/2 Day
Yellowstone Lake Kayaking in Yellowstone National Park - Overview
Join O.A.R.S. for a half day of easy sea kayaking in the bubbling cauldron of Yellowstone National Park's Yellowstone Lake.
Earth’s hottest show and Yellowstone’s awesome natural phenomena — all just beyond the bow of your boat. The endless shores of Yellowstone Lake, the continent’s largest mountain lake, have steamed and simmered in a geothermal flux for thousands of years deep in the heart of Yellowstone National Park, a western U.S. adventure paradise. Steamy geysers gush at water’s edge, mud pots bubble and hot springs sear, and all are easy to spot from the unique perspective of your sturdy, stable sea kayak. Enjoy a rarely-seen view of the volcanic forces that helped forge the American Rockies.
