About Shoshone Lake

Set in Teton County, Wyoming, Shoshone Lake is a 7,660-acre natural lake. The surface sits about 7,795 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 205 ft down.

We have not matched Shoshone Lake to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height. At about 7,795 ft, summer afternoons often bring building wind and quick thunderstorms, and the water stays cold well into the season.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
