Paddle Past Geothermal Wonders & Hike to Remote Shoshone Lake

Experience Yellowstone’s stunning landscapes from both water and trail on our Two Lakes Kayak & Hike Combo Trip. This adventure takes you kayaking past steaming geysers and bubbling hot springs along Yellowstone Lake’s West Thumb Geyser Basin and Potts Geyser Basin, before hiking through pristine wilderness to the remote Shoshone Lake, a hidden backcountry treasure.

Kayaking on Yellowstone Lake: Paddling Through a Geothermal Wonderland

Your journey starts with a paddle across the crystal-clear waters of Yellowstone Lake, the largest high-elevation lake in North America. As you glide along the shoreline, you’ll witness steaming fumaroles, geysers, and hot springs right at the water’s edge—features only visible from a kayak.

Geothermal Highlights Along the Paddle: West Thumb Geyser Basin: One of the park’s most famous hydrothermal areas, where geysers and hot springs rise directly from the lake bed, creating an otherworldly experience. • Potts Geyser Basin: A rarely seen, secluded geothermal area, featuring bubbling pools and steaming vents that are only accessible by boat. • Thermal Activity Beneath the Lake: Yellowstone Lake sits atop an active volcanic caldera, meaning the water is warmed from below by geothermal activity, shaping the incredible landscape we paddle through.

Wildlife is also abundant along the shoreline—you may spot bald eagles, river otters, elk, and even bison wading near the lake.

Hiking to Shoshone Lake via DeLacy Creek Trail

After paddling past these geothermal wonders, we transition to a hike along the DeLacy Creek Trail, a 5.8-mile round-trip trek leading to Shoshone Lake, Yellowstone’s largest backcountry lake.

Why Shoshone Lake is Special:

•	Accessible Only by Foot or Kayak: No roads lead to Shoshone Lake, making it one of Yellowstone’s most untouched and peaceful locations.
•	Surrounded by Wilderness: Nestled in the park’s backcountry, Shoshone Lake offers breathtaking scenery, including dense forests, wildflower meadows, and quiet shorelines.
•	Wildlife Encounters: Keep an eye out for moose, sandhill cranes, and waterfowl as we hike along the DeLacy Creek, which winds through stunning alpine meadows.

Why This Adventure?

This two-lake adventure gives you the best of both worlds—kayaking past Yellowstone’s iconic geothermal landscapes and hiking to a remote wilderness lake few people ever see. By combining these two experiences, you’ll get a unique perspective of Yellowstone’s volcanic activity, pristine waters, and diverse wildlife, all in one unforgettable day.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind kayak and hike combo and explore Yellowstone like never before!
