Jenny Lake: lakes review
Shuttle boat · Hidden Falls
18 October 2026 · Jenny Lake Visitor Center, Grand Teton National Park, WY
Why it is in the USA lakes guide
Jenny Lake · Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming — a glacier-carved lake right under the Teton peaks. From the visitor centre, the shuttle boat crosses the lake and saves about two miles of walking each way to Hidden Falls and the Inspiration Point viewpoint. The full trail around the lake is about 7 miles. For swimming and paddling with kids, nearby String Lake is shallower and calmer.
