Grand Teton seeks volunteers for Jenny Lake boat dock project

National Public Lands Day is a great way to give back to the parks we love! Angela Timby, the Grand Teton National Park Volunteer Coordinator, recently posted an event to help preserve handrails on the West Jenny Lake Boat Dock. The project is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025. Here are some details for the project:
Come Join us at 9am for a scenic hike-in to our lakeside project on beautiful Jenny Lake. The hike will be just over a mile from Moose Ponds parking area over the Chasm bridge to the West Jenny Lake Boat Dock near Inspiration Point to oil handrails.

We use a natural linseed oil and pine tar mixture to protect our beautiful structures from sun, rain, and snow. Please consider wearing clothes that are comfortable for hiking but are OK to get a little oil/tar on. The day will include light to moderate physical activity. All ages and skills are welcome. Tools, materials, and gloves provided. There is no running water or bathroom facilities on this side of the lake so please come prepared. Don't forget to bring water, snacks, hats, and sunscreen!

Please call or email Angela Timby with any questions or to RSVP for this event. We welcome questions about accessibility to join our event if you need more information. Your RSVP allows us to best prepare for the number of people and can also let us know if we need an additional project! There is lots to do, so invite your friends and family to come join us in celebrating our public lands through community service.
