Gull Point Details
Gull Point is a point on the western shore of Yellowstone Lake on the southern end of Bridge Bay. It was given its name in 1895 for the prevalence of gulls in the area. Gull Point Road allows one to drive along the shore of the point as a brief detour from the Grand Loop Road just south of the Bridge Bay Bridge. The Gull Point Picnic Area can be found just east of the south intersection of Gull Point Road and Grand Loop Road. Tables: 21 Restrooms: 1* Fire Grates: 0 * Wheelchair Accessible. Every picnic area has tables, except for the 3 newest areas near Gibbon Falls, and most have vault toilets. You can use camping stoves and self-contained charcoal grills to prepare food at any picnic area. Fires are permitted only in picnic areas with fire grates. Only one picnic area - Madison - has water. Camping is not allowed in any picnic area. Special fire restrictions are occasionally put in place when the danger of wildland fires is great. If you plan to light a fire in the park, please ask about current fire restrictions at the entrance station when you arrive.
