Yellowstone Lake State Park
Despite the threat of rain, I decided to do some exploring today and visit a park I’ve never been to before, Yellowstone Lake State Park.
Located about 40 miles southwest of Madison, Yellowstone Lake State Park has some scenic vistas, good hiking trails, and a very nice campground.
While hiking along the aptly named Wildlife Loop Trail, I saw a lot of water fowl, including blue herons, and what I think were trumpeter swans.
I did see about a dozen of the the large, white birds. I was fortunate to catch two swans in flight above another one wading in the lake.
What a nice park! And only about 45 minutes away from home. I’m definitely coming back.

Looks like a beautiful lake to visit. I didn’t know it existed. Great pictures!

Sounds like a neat park. It certainly was new to me. Again,like always when you go somewhere the photos you take and share, are great. The weather today makes one wish to get outside - for a walk if nothing else.
