Bridge Bay is the main marina to Yellowstone Lake, and the primary source for scenic lake cruises, guided fishing trips, and various boat rentals. It is also the location of a large campground and picnic area.
 

• Bridge Bay Marina: This is the location for those wanting an experience on Yellowstone Lake. Several docking stalls are available for those bringing their own boat. Hour-long scenic cruises of the lake are available several times a day, and smaller outboard motor crafts and even rowboats can be rented on an hourly basis. Guided fishing excursions for anglers are also launched here. If you desire to make reservations for the scenic cruise, contact Xanterra Parks and Resorts toll-free at 1-866-439-7375. (Note: from the marina is the trailhead to Natural Bridge. See Natural Bridge for description)
   

• Ranger Station: With responsibility for lake activity, the station also has a backcountry boat shuttle office.
   

• Yellowstone General Store: The store offers a variety of items including gifts, souvenirs, apparel, jewelry, outdoor supplies, books, groceries, wood bundles, ice, and more. Located near the store is a commons area with 11 picnic tables.
   

• Bridge Bay Picnic Area: The picnic area stretches out along the north side of the marina all the way to the bridge over the main road. From here you get a good close view of the boats coming and going from the bay. There are 23 tables, 6 of which are located together for a group setting, and 3 of which have a fire ring with grate. Double restrooms and garbage canisters are available.
   

• Bridge Bay Campground (Elevation 7,800 ft/2377 m): This campground is very large with 432 sites (including accessible and group sites), each containing a table and fire ring with grate. Food storage boxes measuring 48x22x22 are located throughout the grounds for shared use. The lower section of the campground – loops A, B, C, and D are more open with few trees for shade, but great for RV’s, trailers, and 5th wheels. This campground is not so great for tent camping as afternoon winds pick up coming off the lake and can damage tents that are not well secured. The upper section of the campground, loops E, F, G, H, I, and J (4 of which are tent-only sites) are situated on a gentle hill well covered with trees for good shading and a natural windbreak. This campground requires a “reservation”. Call (307-344-7311) to make your reservations.
