this location near the Grand Loop
Road.
De Lacy Creek is a small stream that starts near the Continental Divide from the
De Lacy Lakes and flows into Shoshone Lake in the Southwest section of the
park. The portion of the stream from the Grand Loop Road to Shoshone Lake, a
distance of about three miles, has a population of brook trout that run from 4 to 9
inches in length.
Access:
The stream can be accessed from the De Lacy Creek Trail located 8 miles east
of Old Faithful on the Grand Loop Road. This trail follows the creek to Shoeshone
Lake, Yellowstone's largest backcountry lake. The terrain along the creek consist
of pine forest and meadows. The trail is not on a steep gradient and is fairly easy
to negotiate. It is about 6 miles to the Lake.There are moose in this area.
Comments:
This is a good stopping off point if you just want to catch a few trout in a relatively
short time that are fairly near the road. They are small brook trout but usually
easy to catch.
