Beautiful Backcountry Site

Easy 1/2 mile walk from parking lot down to rocky beach and private personal or group sites where you’ll feel like you have have Jackson Lake all to yourself. Unrestricted views of Mt Moran and very probable sighting of Bald Eagles, Bear, Elk, Moose, and Deer. Bear Boxes are available along with fire rings. All waste must be packed out.
