Stopped at the Visitor Centre and learned about the history of the Earthquake that had occurred many years ago. Tree tops still visible in the lake are amazing. It was raining when we were there...would have liked to explore further!

Earthquake lake was formed on August 17, 1959 when a massive earthquake hit the area. Half of a mountainside collapsed and blocked the Madison River. The majority of the campers there that night survived, but there is a memorial at the visitor's center dedicated to those who did not. There are many pullouts along the lake with interpretive signs explaining what happened, and how it affected the area. The visitor's center has a 15 minute film showing what happened, and the amount of effort in cleaning the area up. Well worth a stop.

driving by and being from MT thought we'd pull off on our way to West Yellowstone. Only to pull partway up the road to a closed museum. A little disappointed, but will try again on our next road trip that way.

Only open in summer, but the Visitor Center is full of amazing information about the creation of this lake and earthquakes in general.

was sad but very enlightening...most earthquakes happen somewhere else in the world...this place brought it home.

I have traveled to Yellowstone literally hundreds of times having a cabin nearby as well as numerous family fishing/hiking trips. I remember the earthquake well, visiting the hard hit Madison Canyon soon after, and many times since. At first, the canyon was quiet - eerily so. Fresh scars, roads going into lakes, cabins that slid into the Hebgan and "the dam that held", campgrounds where people died, the huge slide with entombed people, and the lake with dead trees. But the intervening years have softened the scars and the memories. It is worth a visit, but now looks more like a big construction site with a visitor's center on the top of the heap. It's best use now is fishing.

I recently saw Quake lake for the first time. It is a very interesting area with an intriguing past. Worth a visit. There is a small visitors center, but the lake itself is the main draw. Take the time to read the history on the posted information signs by the visitors center. Do a little fishing, boating, or take some beautiful pictures. It is well worth your time.

The whole lake was tipped 6 feet. One side lost their lakefront and the other side lost their homes. Worst yet, many people lost their lives. The visitor center has a great view and tells the story.

Beautifully designed display panels explain personalized stories. The large visitor center however was closed (during off season).

I was driving past this place on my way from Yellowstone NP to north Montana and wish I had more time to enjoy it. Thankfully the drive afforded some spectacular views and the story behind this place is fascinating. There are lost of useful places to stop en route. The tops of the trees in the water at certain points give it quite a haunting look and have left me with some great photos. I would definitely like to explore this area further if I ever get the opportunity.
