How about dinner on the river? A late afternoon departure features a dutch oven dinner at our exclusive riverside camp. This float extends into the evening dusk hours, providing a unique alternative for floating the Snake. A simple, clean restroom facility is available at our site.
The South Park section of the Snake River starts just south of the boundary to Grand Teton National Park. It offers 13 miles of calm water, scenic floating through meandering channels of rich riparian wetlands. Peeking through the Cottonwood groves, occasionally hidden by towering Englemenn Spruce, the timeless peaks of the Teton Range, the Snake River Range and the Gros Ventre River Range are with you throughout the voyage. This ever-changing perspective coupled with our unhurried pace invites you to relax and really get to know this beautiful valley. The more we can share with you stories of Jackson Hole's rivers, mountains, wildflowers, birds and wildlife, the more we hope your trip will be enhanced. To relive the valley's early history of the fur trade era and the joys and hardships of its first settlers, the more you can project yourself into the yesterdays of Jackson Hole. We'd like to help you delight in finding a piece of that past alive today.
Our 13-mile South Park Scenic Float provides a smooth, quiet river experience along the Snake River. Our boatmen do all the work, so you can relax and take it all in! These leisurely float trips provide good bird and wildlife opportunities with scenic vistas of mountain splendor. Our scenic trips are available Tuesdays through Fridays. The trip is approximately four hours roundtrip from Jackson. Our minimum age limit is four years old (or 40 lbs) with no upper age limit.
