It is all about the wind if you are taking pictures. Find a spot that is calm and get low to get the best reflection off the lake of the mountains. A circular polarizing lens is a must.

Very easy hike, mostly level ground. Plenty of places to stop and look at the lake and mountains. Some good camping spots if you reserve them early enough. Great place to go swimming. If you are looking for solitude, it is not the best place. There are short periods when someone does not walk by but it is pretty popular. The best time to go is after Labor Day. Most of the people have gone home and the fall colors are coming out.

This is a lake you can take ictures and have them made into posters or jigsaw puzzles. Just dazzling. You will be swept up in the serenity and beauty of the area. Bring bug spray. Mosquito population is not on the endangered list!

We walked this trail a couple times between August 8-12. We had wanted to do the Jenny Lake trail, but it was closed the day we arrived due to bear sitings. The trail has beautiful scenery. The lake is spectacular against a mountain back drop. You will see signs for bears. We didn't let it bother us and just kept going. Having bear spray is probably the safest thing to take with you, but we didn't. We can't wait to go back!

This lake is warmer than most lakes in the park so lots of people swim there. You can bring your own kayak too. There are many hikes starting around there as well. Bring your bathing suit and a towel!

From String Lake, views of Leigh Lake are only a relatively level 2-2.5 miles away, and the views of the lake, Mt. Moran, and Paintbrush and Leigh Canyons are lovely! There are plenty of other walkers on this popular trail, but this is a place worth visiting and sharing.

We stopped at the String Lake parking lot with the intention of taking the 0.9 mile hike along the east side of String Lake to southern end of Leigh Lake; then, we planned to walk 2.8 mile along the east side of Leigh Lake and return on the same path. Unfortunately, we left our trail map in the vehicle, got distracted by the cute little bridge at the trailhead, and embarked on the wrong trail. It's a good trail either way, but walking the west side of String Lake takes much longer than walking the east side. When we realized our mistake, we had to decide whether to walk back to the trailhead or keep going. We ended up walking back and then driving to the trailhead for Leigh Lake. We got to enjoy String Lake from both the east and west sides, but we only hiked a short way at Leigh Lake -- guess we used up our energy allotment for the morning. Whatever you do, take your trail map with you, make noise (it's a bear area), and enjoy the views. After all, it really doesn't matter where you hike -- it just matters that you're still hiking. Enjoy!

The views are gorgeous and you can hike for miles and miles in the hills above the lake. There are enough people swimming too and there are nice beaches but the water seemed a bit cold to us. Refreshing for dipping feet though.

Fairly easy hiking paths from String to Leigh Lake; beautiful views everywhere!! The path around Leigh goes completely around the lake, but be sure you can make the time commitment and have plenty of water!

This a great place to take a hike, right around String Lake to Leigh Lake, avoiding the crowds at Jenny Lake. I would have loved to spend more time at this lake, but we wanted to go to Jenny Lake and do that trail, what a mistake. We should have just hung aroung String and Leigh. Along the trail we spotted a deer, and captured fantastic photos. This trail is level and well maintained. Next time we are taking the canoe.
