Description
Jackson Lake is in Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. The lake is the remnant of large glacial gouging from the neighboring Teton Range to the west and the Yellowstone Plateau to the north. The lake is primarily fed by the Snake River, which flows in from the north, and empties at Jackson Lake Dam. Jackson Lake is one of the largest high altitude lakes in the United States, at an elevation of 6,772 ft (2,064 m) above sea level. The lake is up to 15 mi (24 km) long, 7 mi (11 km) wide and 438 ft (134 m) deep. The water of the lake averages below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius), even during the summer. There are over 15 islands in the lake, including the largest, Elk Island, and Donoho Point.
