Basin countries United States

Christian Pond is a small freshwater lacustrine water body in the Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA. The pond is known for its diversity of waterfowl including the Trumpeter Swan, who nests here. Typical summer water temperatures are warmer than most lakes in Grand Teton National Park due to the shallowness of Christian pond. Turbidity is low and pH levels are typically in the range of 9.6 (slightly alkaline) (Lumina, 2007). The pond is partially covered by water lilies(Grand Teton,2007) and has a 3.2 mile circumferential trail.
