I’d go to Sand Point for mountain lake views.

More about this place

Sand Point is a stunning area on the eastern shore of Lake Yellowstone with long stretches of black-sand beaches and views of the lake with surrounding mountains as its backdrop.

What we love about this spot is that it is so serene that you might end up having the entire place to yourself. You can enjoy picknicking, hanging out at the beach, or even go on a scenic hike (Sand Point Trail) that leads to the Rock Point.
