The historic Jackson Lake Lodge is one of two National Historic Landmarks in the park. With its concrete textured walls, this building was the first modern lodge built in a national park. Opening in 1955, the Rockefeller Lodge, as it was once known, inspires visitors with a wall of windows over-looking Willow Flats, Jackson Lake and the Teton Range beyond.

Today, the great room is a place to relax and enjoy the view or escape from a rainy day. Other facilities in the lodge include a variety of lodging options, two restaurants, a lounge and gift shops. Outside, enjoy the swimming pool, horseback rides or hiking. The Grand Teton Medical Clinic is located in the area as is a service station.
