8. Jackson Lake and Dam

Formed by a melting glacier, Jackson Lake was enlarged by a manmade dam and is now over 400 feet deep. The original dam collapsed and flooded the surrounding area in 1910, but was rebuilt in 1911. Located between Signal Mountain Lodge and Jackson Lake Junction, the dam has nearby parking, so it's easy to walk across and catch some spectacular views. Fishing is permitted November through September, and boat rentals and cruises are both available from various concessionaires. There are several hiking trails in the vicinity as well.   (© 10Best)
