About
Lynx Creek Picnic Area is a day-use recreation site situated along the scenic Greys River corridor in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Located approximately 12 miles from Alpine, Wyoming, the picnic area sits on a bench overlooking the Greys River, offering visitors a peaceful setting for outdoor meals and relaxation. The facility provides private family picnic tables scattered throughout the area and a vault toilet, but no potable water is available on-site. Visitors are required to pack out whatever they pack in, as there are no trash services.

The site operates with services from May 1 through October 1, though year-round access may be available depending on road conditions. No fees are charged for use of the picnic area.
