Chittenden, who was exploring the best routes for a road to connect Old Faithful and West Thumb geyser basins. Chittenden named the lake after Miss Isabel Jelke, from Cincinnati, though it is not clear why.[3][4] Isa Lake is believed to be one of only two natural lakes in the world which drain to two different oceans, the other being Wollaston Lake.[3] (For similar cases see List of unusual drainage systems.) The east side of the lake drains by way of the Lewis River to the Pacific Ocean and the west side of the lake drains by way of the Firehole River to the Gulf of Mexico.[5] The lake is easy to visit as it is adjacent to the road that now connects the Old Faithful and West Thumb geysers basins, on what is known as the "lower loop" of the figure-eight roadway which traverses through Yellowstone. {{gallery|title=Images of Isa Lake |footer= |lines=3 |width=150 |File:IsaLake1921.jpg|Isa Lake, 1921 |File:IsaLake.jpg|Isa Lake on Craig Pass Road |File:Isalake.jpg|Isa Lake }}{{Commons category|Isa Lake}} Notes1. ^1 {{cite gnis|id=1589979|name=Isa Lake}} {{Upper Geyser Basin}}{{Wyoming}}{{wyoming-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web| title =Craig Pass, USGS Craig Pass (WY) Topo Map| work =| publisher =TopoQuest USGS Quads| date =| url =http://www.topoquest.com/map.asp?lat=44.44083&lon=-110.71833&datum=nad27&u=4&layer=DRG&size=l&s=50| format =Map| accessdate = 2008-06-29}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url =http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/grant-area-nat-highs-5.htm | title = Isa Lake| work = Grant Area Natural Highlights | publisher = National Park Service| accessdate = 2012-08-04}} 4. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9V1IAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA166#v=onepage&q&f=false | title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States | publisher=Govt.
