Though only the second largest lake in Yellowstone National Park, Shoshone Lake offers much more opportunity for quiet reflection, being reachable only by trail. The almost 12.5 square mile lake has a maximum depth of 205 feet, contains brown and lake trout and Utah chub, and is believed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to be the largest lake in the lower 48 states not reachable by road.
