Jackson Lake, Moraine-dammed lake in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US
Jackson Lake extends across the northern section of Grand Teton National Park at an elevation of 2064 meters, surrounded by mountain peaks and forest areas.
The lake formed approximately 10,000 years ago through glacial activity, with retreating ice sheets creating natural barriers that trapped melting water.
Native American tribes established their presence around Jackson Lake for thousands of years, using its resources for fishing and gathering activities.
The lake provides multiple access points for boats, with designated camping areas and facilities distributed along its shoreline for outdoor activities.
Scientists monitor this moraine-dammed lake to study geological processes and assess potential risks associated with glacier lake outburst floods.
