    Route Description for Harlequin Lake Trail

    The Harlequin Lake Trail is a gorgeous, family-friendly hike in Yellowstone National Park. This trail may not be an epic adventure with dramatic geothermals or summit views, but it is a lovely spot to spend a day relaxing with loved ones. The trail to the lake is easy and relatively flat the whole way, and the lake at the end is a rewarding destination.
