The Crazy Outdoor Mama

If you are visiting Grand Teton National  Park, there are tons of options when it comes to hiking, but when it  comes to the kids, you have to check out String Lake!

I’m here to give you the scoop, from a local’s view, on this kids favorite in Grand Teton National Park!

You’ll pass the “Grand Teton National  Park” sign along the way, which is a great photo op since the mountains  are right behind it!

Directions to String Lake

This is a great, easy hike that offers amazing views! It is a roughly 3.75 miles long loop with only 275 feet elevation gain making this a perfect family hike.

The shallowness of the lake really helps to keep it warm! There’s a popular jumping rock, and a decent amount of shoreline to play around.

Swimming and Water Temperature
