Clear Lake is a lovely spot located in Yellowstone National Park and is mostly commonly accessed via the Ribbon Lake Trail. This is a great place to stop, eat a snack, and take in the views over the clear blue water. Be warned, like many spots around the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, grizzly bears have been known to frequent this area.
