Ice Fishing Hebgen Lake

West Yellowstone, Montana

Description

Beautiful frozen lake. Good ice fishing for big trout. Easy access, no hiking. 360 degree mountain views.

Hebgen Lake is a beautiful lake, just outside of Yellowstone National Park. With 21 square miles of surface, there's plenty to fish.

A favorite place to access the lake for ice fishing is by Kirkwood Resort and Marina. There's easy parking, and you can just walk right out on the lake. The locals there will be very friendly, and give you pointers if you've never been ice fishing.

Ice fishing can require a lot more patience than other kinds of fishing, but with plenty of fish in Hebgen Lake, you're likely to hook in to something! This lake is full of trout, including brown and rainbow trout. The average size is 14-18 inches, but something over 20" is not uncommon. This is an easy trip for beginners, with no hiking required, unless you want to explore further out on the lake.

Camp at Cherry Creek Campground at Hebgen Lake

In early November we drove from Big Sky to this free campsite located on the southern part of the lake. The road is dirt but mellow. We saw no other campers the entire 2 days we were there. We got out on our inflatable kayak the first day and paddled out on the glassy water near some enormous flocks of ducks. We came back in and hiked around the little bay out to a sandy beach and watched the ...

Camp at Wade Lake

Wade Lake Campground is a gorgeous campground, situated right on the crystal clear blue waters of Wade Lake. It has a handful of maintained sites, as well as a vault toilet. You can easily car camp here, though you may want to be careful on the road in if you're hauling a camper. The beauty of this campground though, is that if you continue to hike past it, you're in backpacking and dispersed ...

I did the trail over the course of three and a half days, spending three nights in the backcountry. No permits were needed (the trail is within the Custer-Gallatin National forest. I did call and ...

Hike Mt. Jefferson and Lake Marie

This out-and-back hike to the highest point in the Centennial mountains of Idaho and Montana skirts the continental divide and provides stunning views of both states. From U.S. Highway 20, Sawtell Peak Road heads west, winding back and forth up the south side of Sawtell Peak. Because there is an FAA flight traffic control station at the top of Sawtell Peak, there is a road to the top that tak...
