Jackson Lake Ranger Station, Ranger station in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States

Jackson Lake Ranger Station is a forest service building in Grand Teton National Park, constructed in 1933 with log construction and a one-and-a-half-story design typical of the rustic style. The complex includes an outhouse, garage, and barn built in the same materials and style, all overlooking Willow Flats and Jackson Lake.

Built in 1933, it is the last Depression-era ranger station in the park to remain in its original location. When the park expanded in 1943, the Forest Service transferred the building but deliberately damaged it first as a protest against the park's growth and the loss of forest land.

The station's name comes from Jackson Lake, which it overlooks from the Teton Park Road. Its log bungalow, outhouse, garage and barn form a grouped Forest Service compound of the 1930s, and the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of April 23, 1990.

The station is easily accessible along the Teton Park Road and offers good views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Visitors can see the grounds and buildings during a drive through the park and explore this historic site at a relaxed pace.

The Forest Service deliberately damaged the building before transferring it and even placed a dead skunk inside to hide the damage from lawmakers during an inspection. This unusual action reveals the strong resistance forest officials had to the park's expansion in that era.
