AccessibilityThe String Lake Loop is an easy 3.7 mi (5.6 km) loop hike with 540 ft (160 m) of elevation gain and an average slope of 6%. The trail on the east side of the lake is relatively flat, with obstacles such as exposed roots and rock. The west side of the trail includes elevation gain to a ridge overlooking String Lake.
What you'll see 🌄 Big views🏞️ Lake

Circle around String Lake for views of Mount St. John, Rockchuck Peak, and the Jackson Hole Valley. Begin by heading south around the east shore of the lake for a more gradual elevation gain. This trail is mostly covered but passes through an older, open burned area below the peaks before ducking back into the trees.

Tips
The shallowest and warmest water in the park, so it is where families swim and paddleboard. The car park fills before 8am in July and August.
