Jenny Lake In Wyoming Is Absolutely Stunning

Wyoming is full of unrivaled beauty, and one of our most popular lakes is a perfect example of the treasures that Wyoming can show off. While the state is full of beautiful glacial lakes, like Leigh Lake, Twin Lakes and Taggart Lake, none of them quite capture our state’s beauty like the famous Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. If you’ve never caught a sunrise or sunset here, you’re in for a real treat.

One of Wyoming’s most famous landmarks is the extraordinary Jenny Lake.

The lake is named after a young Native American woman, and nearby Leigh Lake was named for her English husband.

You can combine lakeside activities by hiking out towards Lower Inspiration Point (the Main Inspiration Point is closed at the moment) and using the water taxi to bring you back along the beautiful water.

Boating across this glacial lake is an experience you won’t soon forget - you can see straight to the bottom at the shallow points!

Every day, people visit this gorgeous Wyoming lake to see sunrise, sunset, or just to dip their toes in the (freezing cold!) water and observe one of nature’s most stunning creations.
