of sign:
Water Wilderness
You
are looking south across thirty miles of water into an area farther
from a road than any place in the lower 48 states. Except for
Grant
Village there is no significant development between here and
Jackson, 100 miles south. Grant Village - the cluster of
buildings
at lakes edge - is open for a few months in summer. A park
road traces the western shore. These exceptions only
underscores
the vastness of the scene.
Windfalls
of spruce and lodgepole pine barricade the lake's south shore.
In winter the area becomes even more isolated as several
feet
of snow bury forest and frozen lake. Yellowstone Lake may be
ice-free only five months a year.

on the sign
In addition
to the text there is an inset photo of a man in a canoe and a picture of the
view of the horizon pointing out the location of
the
Tetons, Flat Mountain, Mt. Sheridan, Frank Island, Grant Village,
West Thumb, Elephant Back Mountain, Gallatin Mountains,
Steamboat
Point, Electric Point.
