Hyalite Reservoir is a reservoir located in southwest Montana, formed by Middle Creek Dam on Hyalite Creek.[1] The lake is situated in Hyalite Canyon at an elevation of 6,699 ft (2,042 m), about 12 miles (19 km) south of Bozeman, Montana and 25 miles (40 km) north of Yellowstone National Park. It was originally built in the 1940s and was expanded to its current size in 1993.[2] Originally known as Middle Creek Reservoir, the name was changed in the late 1960s.[3]
