About Colter Bay Marina End Ties
Wake up to the gentle lapping of Jackson Lake against your vessel at Colter Bay Marina End Ties, where boating enthusiasts can dock their craft (up to 30 feet) in one of the most spectacular settings in Grand Teton National Park. These unique waterfront camping spots place you at the heart of mountain majesty, with the jagged peaks of Mount Moran and the Tetons reflected in the pristine waters just beyond your bow. When you're ready to explore beyond your floating home, the full-service Colter Bay Village awaits with hot showers, laundry facilities, diverse dining options, and a well-stocked grocery store—making this the perfect basecamp for your Teton water adventures.
Colter Bay Marina End Ties is a unique camping facility designed for boating enthusiasts. It provides docking facilities for boats up to 30 feet but lacks traditional camping amenities.
Historical SignificanceThe waters you'll navigate have witnessed thousands of years of human history. The Jackson Hole and greater Teton ecosystem holds deep significance for Native American peoples who first called these mountains home. Discover their rich heritage at the nearby Vernon Indian Arts Collection exhibit, where intricate artifacts tell the stories of the indigenous cultures that shaped this sacred landscape long before the first European explorers arrived.
Weather and SeasonsWhile summer brings warm days perfect for lake exploration, winter transforms this landscape into a snow-laden wonderland. Be prepared for heavy snowfall during certain weeks that may challenge access and limit winter camping opportunities, though the stark beauty of the frozen landscape rewards those hardy souls who venture forth.
Natural Features and SceneryFrom your marina mooring, Mount Moran rises like a granite fortress directly across Jackson Lake, its reflection shimmering in the alpine waters. The northern Tetons create a dramatic backdrop that changes with each passing hour—from alpenglow sunrises to star-studded nights. Keep your binoculars handy as this pristine ecosystem hosts an incredible cast of wildlife characters: grizzly and black bears fish along the shoreline, majestic elk bugle in autumn meadows, curious moose wade through marshy inlets, playful marmots whistle from rocky outcrops, and bald eagles soar overhead, their white heads gleaming against the mountain sky.
