7:15 PM LOCAL TIMEJackson Lake is a sprawling, high-elevation glacial reservoir nestled against the southern flanks of the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Covering roughly 33 square kilometers, it forms a central hub for camping, boating, and wildlife viewing, with boat ramps and several backcountry and developed campsites along its shores. The lake feeds into the park's valley ecosystems and offers dramatic views of peaks like Pinnacle Peak and Mount Moran that are best seen across calm mornings. Though accessible from the park's main roads, the area's true appeal lies in river and lakeside hikes, *viewing wildlife such as ursus arctos and Castor canadensis***, and staying at nearby campgrounds or lodges to wake up to mountain reflections.
