Signal Mountain Launch is a visitor service area in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, about three miles south of Jackson Lake Junction. It sits within the Signal Mountain Lodge area, which offers a full range of services: a campground, lodge, restaurants, convenience store, gas station, gift shops, marina and boat launch. The marina is partly sheltered by Donoho Point and offers views of Mount Moran across Jackson Lake. The boat launch lies east of the main lodge area. The marina experiences minimal impacts from low-water years on Jackson Lake, and restrooms are among the amenities available. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 42°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-20s and frequent snow days. Signal Mountain Trail is about 0.6 miles away, and Chapel of the Sacred Heart and South Landing Trail are within a mile. Toppings Spread 2a, a campground, is about 6 miles off.
