• Lewis & Clark River Expeditions - Begin your wildlife safari here! Please arrive at our office 15 minutes before your trip departs. This allows ample time for check-in, signing waivers, using the restrooms, and exploring our shop.

We suggest dressing in layers as mornings can be chilly, and don’t forget your sunglasses. Binoculars are highly recommended for spotting eagles! Once everyone is checked in, we board our bus for a brief drive to the launch site at Wilson Bridge.

• Wilson - Your scenic float begins from this historic river hamlet at the base of Teton Pass. From Wilson Bridge, embark on a serene 13-mile journey down to South Park Landing.

This section is a local favorite due to its beautiful “braided channels” of the Snake River, without the risk. Unlike the turbulent, technical waters inside the National Park, this area offers a smooth, gentle flow. It allows you to fully relax and enjoy the premier Bald Eagle habitat and changing mountain scenery without worrying about rapids.

• Grand Teton National Park - As we launch from Wilson, have your cameras ready immediately. The start of the trip provides the most open, unobstructed views of the Grand Teton, Middle Teton, and South Teton peaks. It is the classic “postcard moment” before we descend into the river channel where the focus shifts to the wildlife and the water.
• Bridger Teton National Forest - The river meanders through these stunning national forest lands, renowned as a premier nesting habitat for Bald Eagles and Osprey in the lower 48 states. Keep an eye on the treetops as you float by!
• Snake River Range - As the Tetons fade into the distance, the river winds along the base of the Snake River Range. These mountains offer a softer, forested beauty compared to the jagged peaks of the park, especially in the spring when snow still clings to the upper slopes.

You will float through a mix of wild cottonwood bottoms and beautiful private ranches, showcasing life along the river. It is a relaxing conclusion to your journey on this designated Wild and Scenic River, a protected status that preserves the crystal-clear water and native cutthroat trout habitat you’ll admire.

• Southpark Boat Ramp - As your 13-mile journey ends, we arrive at the Southpark Boat Ramp. Nestled in the scenic southern reaches of the valley, this is our final landing point where the gentle currents of the Snake River meet the shore. Our professional shuttle team will be here to assist you off the raft and help transition you from the water back to land. Take one last look at the towering Snake River Range and the expansive Wyoming sky before we board the bus for the short, comfortable ride back to town.
• Lewis & Clark River Expeditions - The adventure comes full circle as our shuttle returns you to your car at the office. This final stop allows you to ease back into your day and reflect on the wildlife and Teton views you experienced on the water. Before heading off to your next Jackson Hole adventure, feel free to browse the shop for a unique souvenir to remember your trip by, or take a moment to chat with your guide and share a final thank you for their expertise on the river.
