Leigh Lake

Leigh Lake is located in Wyoming, in the United States, which is part of Grand Teton National Park. From north to south, the glacially created lake measures 4.5 km in length and 3.9 km in width. The glacially formed lake is situated at a height of 6,877 feet (2,096 meters) above sea level and has an area of 1,792 acres (7.25 km2). The lake is at the end of both Paintbrush and Leigh Canyons, which are both located just southeast of Mount Moran. The Leigh Lake Trail, an accessible hike over level terrain that travels 1.6 km along String Lake's eastern coast, leads to the lake. On the National Register of Historic Places is the Leigh Lake Ranger Patrol.

Leigh Lake is a glacially formed lake that is located at the confluence of Leigh and Paintbrush Canyons. Despite not being a particularly large lake, its surroundings make it one to remember. It can only be reached by trekking the Leigh Lake Trail from the south, at the North Jenny Lake Junction.

You may reach the southern end of Leigh Lake only by trail or by non-motorized boat by hiking along the eastern shore of String Lake and farther. As a result, a very flat, simple walk offers views of a less crowded, peaceful lake and mountains. For a longer hike, continue along Leigh Lake's eastern shore, which offers more beach access and unimpeded views.
