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.

Our family of 5 went white water rafting for the first time. It was so awesome, we want to go again. We even saw a bald eagle dive to get a fish. The sun on our faces with the cool water and weather, wow! Joe was our river guide, he was super funny, and a great leader. It was the perfect day!

Our family had an amazing time on this trip. We have a 12 year old and 9 year old twins. They all sat in the front row and had the thrill trip of their lives. Our guide, Clare, made us feel safe, gave clear instructions and had fun along the way. She let the kids jump into the river at safe, calm points which was a treat. Thanks to Clare and Lewis and Clark Expeditions, my family made an unforgettable memory!

Great experience and professionalism from our guide and all the staff! We went on the 4:30 “dinner” float, the river was beautiful and the steak dinner next to the river was excellent. Best value on the Snake, highly recommended. I would also like to say a special thanks to Karen, the reservations manager. We were meeting the group at the west ramp and were running late due to all the holiday traffic (and my bad estimating). Karen assisted w communicating w the river staff and doing her best to make sure we had our best chance to make the trip. We did, just barely and it made my 11yo trip! Shout out to The staff at the river (including Danny the bus driver) was also very welcoming and accommodating for our late arrival. Very professional and great staff. Again, apologies to all at L&C - not a position I like to put ourselves in. Our guides were second to none, including “Air Claire”. Great inffo and ensured we hit all the white water head on! We also encountered a personal raft that had flipped, one of our guides from another boat jumped in to help, eventually flipping their raft back over for them. Happy ending as the missing dog was found ok under the raft! Great job Lewis and Clark! We go every year and now will only go w L & C! - Gordon Family.

We were so glad you made it down there. Sometimes things get behind for folks and we really try to make it happen. Kudos to you for communicating well and making it happen for your family.
