Grand Teton Mountain in the Teton Range peaking above Jackson Lake Dam in the evening light with the Snake River emerging from outlets on the dam.

Actually, the Snake River flows into Jackson Lake in the extreme northern end of Grand Teton National Park in an area know as John D. Rockerfeller Jr. Memorial Parkway located between Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. After flowing into Jackson Lake the Snake River magically reappears here at Jackson Lake Dam in Grand Teton National Park.

Jackson Lake Dam in Grand Teton National Park was created as an irrigation reservoir holding water for farms in southeastern Idaho.

The Snake River is created here in the tailwater of Jackson Lake Dam in Grand Teton National Park. Actually, the Snake River has headwaters in Yellowstone National Park then flows out the south end of Yellowstone National Park into an area know as John D. Rockerfeller Jr. Memorial Parkway where the Snake River flows free until entering Jackson Lake less than 10-miles later. For 25-miles the Snake River becomes Jackson Lake, so when water is released at Jackson Lake Dam it is the reemergence of the Snake River.
