Leigh Lake

Leigh Lake, which is also located in Grand Teton National Park, is a glacial-formed lake that is in a stunning location at the confluence of Leigh and Paintbrush Canyons. In addition, Mount Moran, a 3,840-meter-high mountain that serves as a backdrop, is nearby to the southeast.

Leigh Lake has a surface area of 725 hectares and is located at an altitude of 2,096 meters above sea level. Despite not being a very large lake, its surroundings make it one to remember. It can only be reached by hiking the Leigh Lake Trail from the south, at the North Jenny Lake Junction.

The hike can easily be completed in a single day, but there are camping areas along the way for those who wish to spend the night. The lake does not allow motorized boats, but canoeing, kayaking, and rowing are permitted and very popular. This lake deserves to be on the list of the best lakes to visit in Wyoming.
