Lake Shore Geyser in West Thumb Geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA

---

Lake Shore Geyser is very similar to Fishing Cone. It is also on the shore of Yellowstone Lake in West Thumb Geyser basin, but its vent is usually covered by water. By August or September the water level is usually low enough to expose the crater. Lake Shore Geyser has long periods of dormancy and geyser predictions are difficult. When it does erupt, a column of water reaches 20-30 feet high which gradually decreases in force after ten minutes.
