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.

Our family with kids ages 18, 16, and 12 had a great trip with Lewis and Clark during our visit to the Tetons. We had Aaron as our guide and he made it fun and informative. We saw eagles, osprey, marmots and even a beaver during our evening raft. The dinner was delicious and made for a fun evening meeting other families. This is a locally owned company and they go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. We have been rafting before in Colorado and these rapids are not a strong but still fun and our kids said it "exceeded their expectations" which rarely comes out of their mouths. Highly recommend.

This company is one of many who provide river services, but we were drawn to them because they were kid-friendly. We rafted the Snake with a boat full of kids - 9 children under the age of fifteen - and six adults. It was a blast. Our guide (Orion) was experienced, and knew how to navigate both the river, but also the dynamic of a few adults, and lots of kids. If you'd love to see the Snake River, pristine wildlife, have fun and get wet - with kids or without - choose this company and try to get onto Orion's boat. If you're taking the kids, definitely get the wet suit from the outfitter at the beginning of the trip, and you might also want to get the rain top or some sort of warmer top cover for the kids. Once they get wet, they'll be cold. Bring good water shoes, and note that the trip to the put-in / take-out site is about 45 minutes south of Jackson where's little cell phone coverage. Take towels, a change of clothes, and maybe a book to read on the way out or back. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Absolutely stellar trip. Joe was a great guide with a great sense of humor. He had my nervous 10-year old manning the front of the raft like a champ. HIGHLY recommended!
