Jackson Lake in Grand Teton NP. The Lake is 6 miles wide, the water is cold
and the afternoon winds come howling out of the mountains, so don't take it
lightly. You can stay close to shore (if you put in at Colter Bay) and
paddle to campsites at Little Mackinaw Bay or Hermitage Point. You can
paddle 1/2 way across the lake and camp at Elk Island, or cross the lake and
head north along the western shore to campsites at Wilcox Point and Warm
Springs. The winds pretty consistently kick up (or as consistent as things
ever get in the Rockies) in mid-late afternoon, so if you do your serious
legs earlier or later you'll be fine. It's a great place to kayak (btw,
you'll have to get a back country permit if you decide to overnight camp and
you'll also have a pay for a boat sticker. You can do both at the ranger
station at Colter Bay).
