Not recommended for toddlers or preschoolers who haven't done much walking. Drive 2.5 miles to the String Lake picnic area and park at the first parking lot near the footbridge. String Lake is a great place to get wet.
Families come to String Lake to splash and swim, canoe, or just float on inner tubes.
The lake is shallow, only about ten feet at its deepest. It's a great place to relax at the picnic tables and soak up the view of the Tetons. But don't forget the trail that circles the lake. The String Lake Trail in Grand Teton National Park features two fun footbridges across the lake's inlet and outlet. The hiking is mostly easy and offers nice views of the valley and nearby mountains.
