There’s no better way to spend a warm Wyoming summer day than by enjoying a refreshing swim, particularly after a brisk hike. Swimming in a pool is fine, but taking a dip in a nice, natural swimming hole feels especially amazing. String Lake happens to be relatively shallow, making it a pleasant place to swim.
String Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park near the town of Moran.
Bill L / TripAdvisor It sits in the middle of a 3.7 mile loop trail in the park.
The String Lake Trail is a pleasant and fairly easy hike that’s great for families and wheelchair accessible.
Shawn Stephens / alltrails.com To reach the trailhead, turn west off Teton Park Road at the North Jenny Lake Junction, which is located about 10 miles north of Moose Junction.
The trail takes you north along the eastern shores of the lake.

String Lake connects Leigh Lake and Jenny Lake, but it’s more shallow than either of them.
Bill L / TripAdvisor Due to its shallow nature, it’s a much more pleasant swim than the glacial lakes around it.
This is definitely a popular swimming spot, but you’ll rarely find a crowd here.
jesse o / TripAdvisor The lake is just large enough and the trail is just long enough to deter some visitors. In fact, many people wouldn’t even think of swimming here.
This stunning lake is the perfect place to spend a summer day.

If you’re planning a trip to Grand Teton National Park this summer, you’ll definitely want to check out the String Lake Trail. And if you can’t make it this year, you can always check out one of these Wyoming swimming holes.
