Elk Ranch Reservoir is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming.[2] Elk Ranch Reservoir is in the eastern section of the park and is impounded by the Uhl Dam, which is an 800-foot-long (240 m) earth-filled dam constructed in the 1940s on land later acquired and incorporated into Grand Teton National Park.[3]
