=== Boating and fishing === [[File:Colter bay boats 20100822 080110 1.jpg|right|thumb|Boats anchored at the Colter Bay Marina]] Grand Teton National Park allows boating on all the lakes in Jackson Hole, but motorized boats can only be used on Jackson and Jenny Lakes. While there is no maximum horsepower limit on Jackson Lake (though there is a noise restriction), Jenny Lake is restricted to 10 horsepower.<ref name=boats>{{cite web|title=Boating and Floating|url=http://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/boat.htm|work=Plan Your Visit|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=March 26, 2012|date=March 22, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327155520/http://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/boat.htm|archive-date=March 27, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Only non-motorized boats are permitted on Bearpaw, Bradley, Emma Matilda, Leigh, Phelps, String, Taggart and Two Ocean Lakes.
