Scenic Snake River Float Trips

Welcome to a bird watcher’s paradise where Bald and Golden Eagles are easily spotted and wildlife is abundant. The serene, yet powerful Snake River winds timelessly through the history of Jackson Hole. Beneath the geologic grandeur of the Grand Teton and the glacier-carved canyons, this river ecosystem is home to herds of elk, mule deer, and moose.

With the passing sounds of the Snake River’s waters, the memories and wild tales of Native Americans, mountain men and pioneers of Jackson Hole can be captured. Sit back and relax as our experienced and highly trained guides deliver a fun and interpretive rafting experience through some of the most scenic and historic stretches of the Snake River.

Embark on a peaceful 10 mile Snake River float trip along one of the most beautiful pathways through Grand Teton National Park. Enjoy a secluded float with the passing sounds of the Snake River. Keep your eyes toward the willows and towering cottonwoods for a chance to spot majestic bald eagles, playful otters, elk and the elusive moose.

Create lifelong memories with our personalized Snake River float trip. From family reunions to wedding parties and everything in between we are happy to accommodate your requests so don’t hesitate to ask! Prices start at $675 for up to 10 people.

Easy, Fun, Beautiful Float

We took an approximately three hour float trip on the Snake River from Grand Teton National Park Headquarters to Teton Pass Highway. Many beautiful natural, nature and rural scenes along the float. This was a no splash trip, and no one got wet unless they wanted to do so.

There were eight passengers on the raft, and there was plenty of room to stretch out or lay down. Joe was our guide – he provide fantastic commentary about the sights along the way and the history of the area. We saw numerous bald eagles. I highly recommend this trip and Joe.

• Snake River Ranch is the largest operating cattle ranch in Jackson Hole (8500 acres).
• 2600 acres are protected under conservation easements, enacted over the last 24 years.
• Irrigation for the ranch flows from the waters of the Snake River and mountain runoff.

The first 200-acre parcel was purchased in 1929 sight unseen by Stanley Resor. It was based on his 12 year old son’s recommendation who was visiting from New York.

• Settlor, Stanley Resor visited the ranch every summer with his wife and three children.
• Constructed in the 1930’s, many buildings are part of the National Historic Register.
• Stanley Resor created a self-sufficient cattle ranch, including a hydropower plant

If you’ve ever purchased Meyer Natural Angus, Laura’s Lean or Tyson Foods, you may have enjoyed beef from the Snake River Ranch!

• Approximately 3,700 black and red Angus cattle reside on the ranch every summer.
• All cattle are “natural,” free of hormones and antibiotics.
• Our cattle winter in California and summer in Wyoming – they’ve got this figured out!

Now beginning their fifth generation on the Snake River Ranch, the Resor family invites you to continue sharing in their Jackson Hole history!
