Goodwin Lake is a great, family friendly hike. The moderate incline and beautiful vistas make this a local favorite. Panoramic views of the Tetons are unmatched from the Goodwin Lake trail head. The hike starts out moderately steep and levels out for the majority of the hike. As you approach the lake the terrain will change slightly and become rocky as you travel the base of Jackson Peak. Make your way through the maze of fallen pines and micro-creeks and you will soon arrive at the breath-taking Goodwin Lake. Perfect picnic areas abound on the banks of the lake and it doesn't take much luck to catch a good size trout as the lake isn't heavily fished.Note: Consider wearing long sleeves and pants as the horse flies can be an issue.
