The Emma Matilda Lake Trail is a 10.7-mile (17.2 km) long hiking trail located within the Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[1] This trail and the adjacent lake are named after the wife of William O. Owen, who in 1898 was among the first four climbers in recorded history to climb to the summit of Grand Teton.[1] The trail can be accessed from Jackson Lake Lodge or from the Two Ocean Lake trailhead. The Emma Matilda Lake Trail loops completely around Emma Matilda Lake, and provides views of the lake and the entire Teton Range.[2][3]
