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.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We had an awesome ride down the Snake River with JJ. He was so funny that I had tears running down my face at one point. It was a cloudy day in mid June and the water was cold so my 3 boys wore wetsuits. The cold water did not keep my husband and a couple other brave souls from jumping in the water and floating along the raft during one or two of the calmer stretches. Saw a bald eagle and several osprey nests. JJ was a highly skilled guide and even maneuvered us so we could “surf” in a rapid with our raft for a couple minutes! My boys are still talking about it. Definitely recommend this rafting company, though I will say bring your own SD card if you plan to rent a GoPro. Think they have just been super busy this summer and ran out the day we were there. Also note that there is a small changing area where you get out of the River so you can do a quick clothing change.

Thanks for letting us know how much fun you had. Indeed JJ is a master guide who know how to show guests a great time on the river. We are happy to know that you had fun despite the cold water. Thanks for choosing Lewis & Clark! Karen

We absolutely loved our Whitewater Rafting trip. We have 2 kids (5 & 8) and everyone had a blast. Our tour guide Alex was phenomenal and the bus driver Nancy made the drive to and from the river enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

First time whitewater trip was awesome. Ben did an amazing job. He kept us safe, told us exactly what to expect, and steered us into the best parts of the rapids. Pointed out so many things that we never would have seen on our own. Definitely one of the highlights of our vacation to the Grand Tetons/Yellowstone.
