One of the more memorable
ways for visitors to enjoy the awesome beauty of Grand Teton
National Park is a float trip on the Snake River. Beneath the
majestic Grand Teton mountains, the mellow waters of the Snake River
are the only avenue for seeing  many of Jackson Hole's forests and
meadows that provide secluded habitat to beavers, otters, bears,
moose, eagles, and ospreys.
Below
Jackson Lake, from mid-May until mid-September, the park's licensed
rafting outfitters offer a wide variety of 5- and 10-mile (8 and 16
km) daily float trips including optional deli or picnic lunch,
supper floats, and sunrise and evening wildlife trips.
Snake River outfitters have few passenger
restrictions. Almost anyone above the age of four can enjoy the
river. Outfitters welcome families, senior citizens, and the
disabled. While it is almost always possible to join a raft trip on
short notice, reservations a few days in advance are recommended.
