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.

What To Expect

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.

Great experience from the moment we walked into the establishment. Found a deal on Groupon and before purchasing went to check out the organization. They honored the groupon pricing offer and we booked directly with Lewis and Clark. All staff from the girls at the main base to the bus driver to our rafting guide were all top notch! The water was colder the day we went and we were able to get wet suits for a reasonable price. We were a large group of 7 ranging in age from12-70 years and we all had an awesome time!!! We recommend Lewis and Clark rafting- there are many choices in Jackson and this was a good one!

Wow....we had so much fun ! Our family of four had never been whitewater rafting before. In general, we are a risk-averse group, so going on this excursion was a big step for us. Karen and Katie were a big help answering all my email and phone questions. The website was so detailed about how to prepare. The trip itself was great! Our guide, Joe, did a great job explaining what to expect and how to maneuver the boat. And he was hilarious! We had the kids (14 & 11) between us, and we (adults) did the paddling on our row. The paddling was never too hard or for too long. We chose the rafting trip that includes dinner, and it is a must-do ! We had steak and salmon in our party, and both were delicious. There was also corn, salad, bread, and warm brownies, too. I would definitely recommend Lewis & Clark to anyone considering a whitewater rafting trip in WY.

We had a family reunion in Jackson and 26 people went on the 3 different rafts on the 8 mile classics whitewater rafting trip. The ages for the kids ranged from 7-18. Everyone had a wonderful and an amazing time! The company bent over backwards to accommodate our family and were so patient with us! We tried other companies but they would never return our emails and phone calls. Lewis and Clark were great to work with for such a large group and guides couldn’t have been better! We are so thankful that we found this company! Highly recommended!

Job number one when running a raft company: Answer the phone when it rings! Glad things went so well with your family.
