Teton County Parks and Recreation, in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will close the north Highway 89 pathway on Sunday, November 1, as part of the winter wildlife closure designed to minimize impacts on migrating elk herds.
Additional seasonal closures include the Wilson Boat Ramp to motorized vehicles beginning Tuesday, December 1, 2026, as well as other wildlife-sensitive areas around the Town of Jackson. These restrictions align with winter backcountry closures, including areas on and around the buttes.
More information on winter wildlife closures is available at: https://www.tetonconservation.org/winter-wildlife-closures.
Restrooms and other facilities in Town and County parks are closed for the winter, but the parks themselves remain open to the public. All Town ordinances remain in effect, including restrictions on open fires, dogs, camping, unpermitted Parks and Recreation special events, and the sale of food or alcoholic beverages without proper permits.
