White-Water Rafting & Floating
A splashy paddle down the class-III Snake River Canyon , south of Jackson along US
89/26 between Hoback Junction and Alpine, is a popular summer pastime. Wildlife in-
cludes ospreys and eagles nesting along the river. Half-day trips (from $48) put in at West
Table Creek and take out at Sheep Gulch (8 miles). Full-day trips (from $80) put in at
Pritchard Creek, upstream from West Table Creek, and take out at Sheep Gulch (16
miles). The rafting season runs May to Labor Day, but the best white-water is in June.
July and August are crowded, so reserve ahead.
Half-day scenic float trips on a 13-mile section of the swift-flowing Snake River put in
south of Grand Teton National Park and take out north of Hoback Junction, passing
through the Jackson Hole wetlands, which are rich with bird and wildlife-viewing oppor-
tunities. For more information on boating the Snake, Click here .
