Bill, It has been years, but the family and I twice did a week of sailing on Jackson lake. The lake is beautiful and quite a bit warmer than Yellowstone Lake; warm enough for swimming. We entered Teton Park from the South entrance, and at the ranger station purchased a season sailing permit. At that time (16 years ago) there were 3 marinas on the lake and we launched at the southern most; which had a very nice ramp and lots of vehicle+trailer parking. For the duration of our trip we took moorings each night at the two southern most marinas. As I recall, the northern most marina did not have guest moorage, but had excellent ice cream! Both trips were a great vacation. I believe you can call and make mooring resv. There are not a lot of places on the lake to anchor for the night. Mostly because the shallower areas were heavily infested with mosquitoes and leaches. The marina in the middle border a Park campground it was great fun to go to the evening Ranger presentations. This same marina offered water taxi service; you honk your horn and out they would come with a dingy to give you a ride to shore (the kids thought that was the coolest). Jackson Lake is a very deep lake and it is thought that the water temp is warmer than Yellow Stone lake due to underwater geo-thermal activity. Overall the water is crystal clear and you would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful setting. As I said, it has been a while, but I believe of the two lakes I would favor Jackson Lake due to its accessibility and conveniences.
