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.

This was a great trip. We did the late afternoon trip which included dinner. The Snake River was awesome, and Joe, our guide, was great! Dinner was amazing. My children all want to go again.

This was my first experience with rafting and I was a little uneasy about getting soaked with cold water. No need, it was not as cold as expected and was actually refreshing in July. I came away wishing there were more rapids and that the float was a little longer. It is a great activity for families. There were kids in our boat and they enjoyed it despite initial fear. Our guide, Orion, was good at engaging everyone in the raft and listening to everyone's preferences for the experience. The staff members at the check in were helpful and informative. I would not suggest wet suits in July unless exceptionally cold even though a number of people in our group rented them. I get cold very easily and am small but I was very comfortable in shorts and in the jacket provided. The jacket is something I would not pass up unless you have one of your own. Warning, the jackets and water socks provided are pretty smelly and you will leave wanting to clean up pretty quickly. Overall, a great experience. The bus driver was nice as well. You can leave all belongings on the bus while rafting without fear of theft etc. Buses are typical unairconditioned, rafting buses (similar to school bus). Water time itself was not as long as expected. A great part of the time allotted is for transportation, getting life vests, changing to dry clothes, etc.
