Grand Teton National Park

Jenny Lake was the first area developed for recreation in this national park. Enjoy the same splendid scenery and outdoor activities here that first drew visitors to this rugged landscape in the early 20th-century. Since the early 1900s, Jenny Lake has been a popular place for hiking, boating, swimming and photography.Why Jenny?1872 Hayden Expedition explorers named this lake to honor their guide Richard "Beaver Dick" Leigh's wife, a Shoshone Indian named Jenny.Many of these historic buildings date back to the 1920s and 1930s. Notice how these rustic log structures harmonize with the landscape. In 1990, the National Register of Historic Places designated this area an historic district.
