Even so, if you desire solitude amid the grandeur, you can generally find it. Leave your car in a parking area and walk down to the shore. Instantly you are isolated from the world of automobiles. If you have more time, catch the boat that usually leaves three times an hour from the south end of the lake. Near the parking area you will find the Jenny Lake Visitor Center, rest rooms, ranger station, a store, and a campground for tents only.
