Willow Flats: The extensive freshwater marsh between Jackson Lake Dam and Colter Bay can be viewed from the back deck of Jackson Lake Lodge and the Willow Flats Overlook, ¼ mile south of the lodge. Shrubby willows provide browse for moose. In evening and early morning elk graze on grasses growing in large patches among willow stands. Beavers have created ponds by damming streams throughout Willow Flats; beaver ponds also harbor muskrats and waterfowl. (Grand Teton Park literature)
