Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake is situated in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park at a height of 2,064 meters above sea level. The 10,340-hectare lake is pretty magnificent, encircled by high peaks.

Jackson Lake was created in 1911, although it has since grown to accommodate farmers from Idaho, a neighboring state. Despite being a naturally occurring lake that was initially created by a sizable glacier, it is the fourth-largest reservoir in the state.

The lake's eastern shore is home to many marinas, lodges, and campgrounds, whereas its western shore is quite rustic. It is one of only two lakes in the national park that allows motorized boats and is the only one that allows sailing, windsurfing, and water skiing.

Over 15 islands are located in the lake and are reachable by boat. You can travel to Elk Island, the largest of these, and spend the night at one of the rustic campsites to take advantage of the solitude.
