Quake Lake by Loree McComb

Quake Lake by

located south west of Yellowstone in Montana almost at the Idaho border a HUGE earthquake in 1959 made a lake from the river flowing thru the area due to a landslide that killed many campers – the surge from the water took the river front homes submerging them – there was an older woman who was actually saved when her dog pulled her out of the sinking house to safety. If I’m not mistaken I believe it was the Madison River -

  • this is one of about 5 cabins that are underwater – one is just the very peak sticking out – it’s really an interesting spot to take people
