Yellowstone Lake State Park

Yellowstone Lake State Park encompasses 1,300 acres of natural terrain, featuring a 343-acre lake surrounded by forests, wetlands, and grassland ecosystems.

The establishment of this state park in 1970 marked a transition from agricultural land use to a protected natural recreation area in Lafayette County.

Local residents and visitors participate in seasonal fishing tournaments at the lake, maintaining Wisconsin's long-standing traditions of outdoor recreation and angling.

The park maintains multiple boat launches, camping areas with electrical hookups, and a network of hiking trails that remain accessible throughout all seasons.

This inland lake sustains populations of northern pike and panfish, offering fishing opportunities in both summer and winter through designated ice fishing zones.
