Best available June through October, Swan Lake & Heron Pond Trail is approximately 3 miles and a beautiful, mostly flat loop (236 feet in elevation gain) with stunning views. Start from the parking lot at Colter Bay campground at the Hermitage Point Trailhead (turn right after the road ends and parking can be found close to the trailhead). We took the trail along Jackson Lake and then the Heron Pond turn at the first fork. The natural environment is gorgeous the entire way with small wooded areas. There are no major views but you can often see the lakes or pond.
