Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
(20 miles). For a longer intermediate-level trip, paddle the twists and turns of the Snake
River from Flagg Ranch to Wilcox Point or Lizard Creek.
Predominant winds from the southwest can be strong, especially in the afternoon, when
waves can swamp canoes. Morning is usually the best time to paddle.
JENNY LAKE SCENIC DRIVE
String Lake is perfect for a family canoe trip or even just a splash about. The canoe-only
put-in is at the end of a turnoff just before the Leigh Lake Trailhead parking lot.
Particularly suited to families, Leigh Lake offers the most scenic day and overnight
paddles. Getting there requires a 120ft portage between paddling sections. Six beautiful
backcountry campsites flank the lakeshore, three of which (16, 14A and 14B) are only ac-
cessible by boat. It is 3 miles one way from the portage point at the outlet of Leigh Lake
to furthest campsite (16). Leigh Lake also offers quality fishing.

$60/40) plus a three-hour white-water trip (adult/child $58/48) from mid-June to early

lake fishing, plus fly-fishing day trips for $475 for two people.
