    More about this place

    Storm Point is a scenic hiking trail on the eastern shore of Yellowstone Lake. The trail is a moderate 2.5-mile loop hike that leads you through a forested area and along the shoreline. The trail is known for its picturesque views of Yellowstone Lake, which is the largest freshwater lake above 7,000 feet in North America.

    Along the trail, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest and lake, as well as several different types of wildlife like bald eagles, ospreys, and mule deer. The endpoint of the trail is Storm Point, a small peninsula that extends out into the lake, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

    Storm Point is a great place for a picnic or to take a break and relax while taking in the beauty of Yellowstone. The trail is less crowded than many of the other popular hiking trails in the park, making it a peaceful and serene experience.
