Get On The Water

Jenny Lake Boating runs small, passenger shuttles (for a fee) from the South Jenny Lake boat dock to the Hidden Falls/Inspiration Point dock every 15 to 20 minutes during the summer. A one-hour scenic and interpretive tour gets you up close to the mountains.

Paddleboarders, canoers and kayakers will find both String and Leigh lakes a breeze for leisurely paddling. Rent a boat or SUP. These are the best spots for beginners and children to enjoy water sports in Grand Teton.

A favorite recreation site for Jackson Hole locals, Jackson Lake is the largest lake in the park and welcomes all kinds of watercraft. Rent a kayak, canoe or runabout at Signal Mountain or Colter Bay. Take a lake cruise and enjoy a meal at Elk Island with Grand Teton Lodge Company.

The Snake River winds an ever-changing route through the valley. Take a guided scenic float down the river to soak in the beautiful scenery of the park.
