Coyote Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming.[2] Situated north-northwest of Mount Hunt.
Coyote Lake lies in a cirque nearly surrounded by several unnamed peaks each nearly above sea level.[2] Coyote Lake sits in a cirque at the head of Open Canyon and can be reached from the Open Canyon Trail but requires off trail navigation to access.[3] [4] The lake is located at the head of the south fork on the Open Canyon trail.[5]
In 1927 The Pinehole Roundup printed an article titled, "Two Weeks in the Rockies With a Forest Ranger by C.H. McDonald. In the article Coyote Lake was described as "Mud Lake". The writer detailed a story about their horse becoming stuck in the lake mud and struggling to free itself.[6]
