Shoshone Lake / Yellowstone's Most Deadly Lake
Переглядів 4,2 тис.Рік тому
Yellowstone is known for its natural wonders. Shoshone lake is no exception. As the largest, backcountry lake in the lower 48, this body of water is a solitary marvel in a national park full of incredible sights. Its remoteness has contributed to its (well deserved) reputation of being a dangerous lake. If you are up to it, it is definitely still worth visiting though. Keep you wits about you, ...

    Good information but the random stock video clips of lakes that don't look anything like Shoshone was distracting to me, because I know what the lake looks like.

    • @YellowstoneLife

      @YellowstoneLife 9 днів тому

      You must not have read the previous comments… yes, the tribe is pronounced Shoshoneeeee, but the lake is pronounced how I say it in the video. The lake was pronounced incorrectly for so long, the incorrect pronunciation has become more or less the official pronunciation. It’s kinda lame, but true.

    For a few extras, Great places to see Bighorn Sheep would be from the North Entrance to Mammoth, the mountainous sections of Lamar Valley but I’d recommend a spotting scope for that, also the Mount Washburn area in between Tower & Canyon, also along the East Entrance road. Great places to see Pronghorn, Lamar Valley would easily be the best place to see them, you almost always see them there. Great places to see Mountain Lions, you have to be pretty lucky to spot one they’re probably the rarest large predator in the park, but they’re most often seen from Mammoth all the way to Lamar Valley & sometimes around the Tower region. Great places to see Bald Eagles, any place that has sufficient amount of water, like the Madison River along the West Entrance road, also the Yellowstone River, and the huge lakes in Yellowstone. Also to note about bears, just like wolves they can be seen throughout the park, but the Eastern side of the park from Lamar Valley all the way to the East Entrance road tends to have the most bear sightings for both Grizzly & Black Bears that are closest to the roads, although I have seen that Grizzly Bears are sometimes spotted close to the road from Mammoth to Norris, Grand Teton is also a good place to look for Grizzly Bears during dusk in the meadow openings, and in my experience I have seen Black Bears close to the West Entrance road, and even a lone wolf along that road at one point, so in short, although some areas of the park offer a higher chance of seeing a particular animal, there’s always the chance you could come across it in a random area of the park at the right place at the right time.

    I have canoed into Shoshone Lake twice and been on over night trips on Yellowstone Lakes seven times. It is true Shoshone Lake is more remote, but I consider Yellowstone Lake to be more dangerous due to its size and water conditions. I believe more people have been killed on Yellowstone Lake than Shoshone Lake.

    • @YellowstoneLife
      @YellowstoneLife Рік тому

      You’re likely right- due to its sheer size I would imagine more people have died on Yellowstone Lake. The statistics for the actual numbers are pretty hard to find. I would say though, Yellowstone Lake is less prone to having afternoon windstorms that come out of nowhere. Also, for how few people travel to Shoshone I’d say the actual odds of dying there are higher. That’s how I look at it at least.

    I paddled Lewis Lake several days last fall. You can put in at several spots along the road on the east side of Lewis Lake. I was told there are numerous obstructions and shallow spots on the river between Lewis and Shoshone that required portaging or lining. Good pointing out that you should paddle near shore vs going out across wide areas.

    • @YellowstoneLife
      @YellowstoneLife Рік тому

      Yeah last time I went from Lewis to Shoshone we had to wade through the shallow parts of the river while pulling our canoes.

      Thanks for pointing that out! I was going to mention that on the video, but I decided against it. I probably should have. That being said, I think it is one of those situations where people know the correct pronunciation, yet still pronounce it incorrectly. I'm from the area, still live here, and have lived within a few miles of the Shoshone-Bannock reservation--literally everyone I know pronounces it "Shoshown." Maybe I just haven't hung out with any of the folks who pronounce it correctly though!

      If you are referring to the missing long E sound at the end of the word Shoshone, then i’ll just add this note. I was just at Yellowstone, and while getting my permit to backpack around the lake…..The ranger issuing the permit corrected me when I used the long E at the end of Shoshone. Told me that in the lake name, the E was Silent.

    Excellent video. Great job of explaining the many dangers associated with paddling across the lake, as opposed to paddling along the shoreline. His case example demonstrates how there is no room for using “testosterone” to make paddling decisions, as opposed to good judgment. Know that high mountain lakes are NOT lowland lakes. Whether you are an expert canoeist or not, staying close to the shoreline is of critical importance. Large waves on high mountain lakes may not (and often do not) have anything to do with incoming storms. Canoes are not sea kayaks. In addition, Not all canoes are equal, especially in their center depth. Further, identical canoes with different loads have different freeboard. If you don’t understand these terms or concepts, do your research. Have paddled more than 3,000 miles tripping in canoes. If you lack the background necessary to paddle in remote backcountry, join a local canoe club, then safely enjoy the beautiful backcountry.
