About Jackson Lake
Set in Teton County, Wyoming, Jackson Lake is a 25,551-acre reservoir. The surface sits about 6,768 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 440 ft down.
We read the level from USGS gauge 13010500, listed as Jackson Lake near Moran, WY. Wind and weather come from the National Weather Service grid cell over the lake, so the numbers describe open water rather than the nearest airport.
On a lake this size the wind has miles of open water to work with, so a 15 kt breeze can stack up a steep chop in the main basin while sheltered coves stay flat. At about 6,768 ft, summer afternoons often bring building wind and quick thunderstorms, and the water stays cold well into the season. Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
