The Slide Lake Boating Site is a small, beautiful lake access point, ideal for kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and other non-motorized watercraft. It is located down the Taylor Ranch Road, a spur off the main Gros Ventre Road that winds down through aspen stands and large boulders from the Gros Ventre Slide. There are several small parking spots amongst the willows, aspens and large boulders, directly adjacent to the lake and a small beach. A small sandy trail leads down to the beach, located near the lake’s outlet and offers great access to the lake’s western shores. There are no facilities located on site, although dispersed and fee campgrounds are located nearby. Parking is limited and tight and does not have ample space for trailer turnaround. No cellular service is available.

Very convenient spot for visiting Teton, just outside of Kelly. If you come to the bridge, you’ve gone too far. Once you turn off, there is a large spot at the end of the little road, down by the river. And another on the left just as you pull in. Very quiet and picturesque. No amenities at all. 

Small but cozy spot along the river

This site was very nice. We stayed on the beach with my four buddies and it was right on the lake. You could go swimming in the lake but it is cold so make sure you bring warm clothing. The beach itself was nice to pitch a tent on, the sand and mixture of rocks were bad to sleep on in the tent. 

Great site!

The road is a little rough but manageable, at least for our 22ft plus trailer.  Sites were not very level but the views are unreal.  Happy to have a ranger visit us soon after setting up camp to remind us of bear precautions. Luckily no bear sitings but a few foxes ran around our site.  Beautiful place.  Verizon and ATT reception was spotty. 

Great dispersed camping!

We stayed in the larger spot next to the river. There are 2-3 good spots for tents and a couple of hammock-worthy trees. There's also a large rock next to the lower fire pit that served as a great kitchen table.

great primitive camp spot

Road is rough. Recommend high clearance vehicles. Space for 2-3. Right on the river.  River is loud in campground.  There are a few more spots after crossing the river. 


Small dispersed campground

I was lucky enough to get a spot with its own private beach. Other than a few cars coming down looking for a spot (and a family of 8 on two Razr's stopping and walking through my camp, waking me up from my post-hike nap in my van with the back does partially open, urinating IN my campsite, walking down to the private beach and hanging out for about 15 minutes) it was very quiet and had an incredible sunset. 

A friendly fox came poking down to the river while I was sitting there.  

The definition of serenity, mostly

We camped just before this road and got a spot that was private off the road. Lots of dispersed camping off the main road in the bridgerton- Teton Forrest.
