About

The meeting place for this float is at the Stilson Parking Lot also known as the Village Transit Center. Then a short walk or drive will bring us to our departure point, the Wilson Landing, just south of Grand Teton Park. short 15-minute drive will bring us to our departure point, the Wilson Landing, just south of Grand Teton Park. Some boat preparation will ensue, as well as the donning of lifejackets, and after an initial safety talk, we will board the raft. Guests will be seated on the outside pontoons and cross tubes of the raft, with all navigation and propulsion handled by your guide, via a center-mounted oar frame.

We will shove off and embark on a two hour, thirteen-mile float down the Snake River as our friendly and professional guides share their knowledge of the history, geology, flora, and fauna of this amazing river system, stopping on a scenic gravel bar for a fresh picnic lunch. We will have the breathtaking Teton Range as a backdrop for most of the float, as well as the Snake River Range, the Gros Ventre, and Hoback Ranges as well. Keep your eyes peeled as moose sightings are common, as well as elk and deer. I always guarantee a bald eagle or two, as we have over half a dozen nesting pairs on this beautiful stretch of river, not to mention close up views of active eagle nests as well.

We complete our adventure at Von Gontard’s landing, about 15 minutes south of Jackson. We’ll see you on the river!
