Classic Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview
The highlight of your vacation! This a 17-foot self-bailing raft that provides a fun splashy ride while providing enough stability to handle the Snakes Class bigger rapids with ease, and allowing you to feel safe while you enjoy the experience. You'll paddle through the legendary Snake River Rapids, including Lunch Counter, Big Kahuna, Champagne and Ropes. Rafts launch at West Table and take out at Sheep Gulch in the Snake River Canyon. It's 8 miles of Class II and III whitewater interspersed with calm stretches, even some opportunities to swim. Trips take 3 1/2 to 4 hours round-trip from our office at 180 Powderhorn Ln in Jackson. Whitewater rafting with Lewis & Clark is the genuine interactive outdoor adventure you came to Jackson Hole to experience. Most of our customers are first-timers and it's suitable for ages 6+. If you're looking for the max in adventure check out Lewis & Clark's small boat, smallest raft on the Snake. Private rafts are available, call to book.

Snake River Canyon
Please check in to our office at 180 Powderhorn Lane in Jackson 1/2 hour before your trip time. After checking in you will have access to restrooms and dressing rooms to prepare for your trip. Once your bus departs our office, it takes about 35 minutes to reach the "put-in" at West Table Creek Ramp on the Snake River. There are dressing rooms and pit toilets at the ramp. Our guides will be at the ramp to meet you and help you get into your gear, including life jackets and free, optional splash jackets. After your ramp orientation, you will launch and begin your 8-mile trip on the river. These 8 miles can take anywhere from just under an hour at high water to two hours very late in the season, depending on flows. Once at the take-out you walk up to your bus which will be parked near the restrooms and dressing rooms. There, you can retrieve dry clothing and change before riding back to Jackson. The bus ride home takes about 45 minutes.

We had a fantastic guide in Joe, very knowledgeable of the history of the river and surrounding mountains. His stories added to the overall experience and beauty that we took in as we traveled down the river. Great experience!

Beautiful and thrilling ride down one of America's iconic rivers. Joe, our guide, was entertaining and knowledgeable. Got wet, heart rate went up a few times, and the scenery was awe inspiring. For 1st-timers this is the time to go. Don't think we're ready for the Grand Canyon, but we are going again.

Great fun with a knowledgeable guide! Beautiful stretch of the Snake River! The water flow was low, so the small boats had a more exciting ride. Our classic raft guide took us through finding the best action and we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and birds of the area. Highly recommend!
