Reviews
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoBeautiful clear water! We brought kayaks and used the boat launch to get on the water. Stunning views and not too crowded (Monday around 5pm). Saw lots of hikers on Jenny Lake trail. This time of year I would recommend going earlier in the day so you can enjoy the water in full sunshine. We were in shade on our way back to the boat launch but still a great time. If you bring your own, make sure you have both passes (WY State and National Park permit) and the inspection done at the entrance.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoWe did the hike on the left shore and took the shuttle back. Very nice hike and the lake is beautiful. We spotted a small black bear just 30 feet away.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoWould say that this area is the prettiest in the Tetons. It is a beautiful hike up to inspiration point but you are TRULY MISSING OUT if you do not hike just 1 more mile into cascade canyon, as the view there is amazing. The extra 1 mile into cascade canyon is a lot easier as it is relatively flat. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the boat shuttle, the hike up to hidden falls and inspiration point, and especially cascade canyon.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoSuch a beautiful and pristine body of water with a background like no other in the Grand Teton range. So much to do here too; lots of hiking choices, visitors center and boat shuttle to the other side of the lake and canyon for more hiking. Pro tip is to arrive early as parking is an absolutely nightmare if you don’t. Don’t miss this lake on your trip!!
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoBeautiful lake. It takes 10 mins on the boat ride. It's $20 roundtrip or you could go one way and walk around the lake to get back. There are places to hike, a gift shop, and restrooms.
