HOMPSON 180. Grand Teton Nat'l Parks July 8 1931 Emma Mathilda Lake Trip by Wright & Thompson The lake is a crescent shaped lake about 3 miles long. It has no inlet but an artificial outlet which has drained the level of the water about 2 1/2 ft. lower than its normal level. This has left a shoreline which is bare cobble stone most of the way, but in spots 1 mile long around the southeast end and about 1/2 mile at the north west end there are cattails and marsh grass extending out 200 ft. in some places. The lake is quite shallow. Moose & deer tracks were all around the lake. 6 Coyote tracks were seen at intervals around the lake. One black bear was drinking on the south margin. A family of raccoons, 4 Calif.? Puleys, and a family of 5 small mergansers and 2 separate female mergansers were seen. About 10 pairs of tildeer and 10 pairs of spotted sandpiper were encountered. One lady sandpiper just a week or 10 day old was seen. 14 Trumpeter Swals were feeding out in the middle
