String Lake Details
Hikers follow the trail around the lake beginning at the south end, then move through a burned area below Rockchuck Peak and Mount St. John. You can also access Jenny Lake from here as well as Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point, and Cascade and Paintbrush canyons. The trailhead is about 1.5 miles north of the North Jenny Lake Junction on Teton Park Road.
