Tucked away at the base of the Teton Range, Jenny Lake is one of the most visited areas in Grand Teton National Park. The scenic area features a campground which recently benefitted from some renovations and park officials are happy to announce they have finally wrapped up the work.
The newly improved campsite includes new water spigots, bear resistant food storage boxes, widened bike trails and freshly repaved roads. The project cost $2 million to complete with around $750,000 coming from the National Park Service’s Centennial Challenge Program and the remainder from Grand Teton National Park Foundation.

-48 new elevated bear-resistant food storage boxes (with support from the Grand Teton Foundation )
-Widened pavement and a short bicycle route connector lane to ease vehicle/bike interactions

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this project happen. The park and Grand Teton Lodge Company are excited to welcome visitors back to a refreshed Jenny Lake Campground!
