The Fishing Bridge, Lake Hotel of 1891 and West Thumb's geyser basin are on its shore; the lake stays frozen into late May.

Why we cut this one
Yellowstone Lake is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.Turn it in your hands
