Snake River Ranch
As the only commercial rafting company to enjoy exclusive access to private stretches of the Snake River, we offer longer, more scenic routes and peaceful, crowd-free launch points.
Private Ramps
Exclusivity is very hard to come by in Jackson Hole, particularly during the summer months when our population with tourism swells. Our relationship with Snake River Ranch, a privately owned and operated ranch, lets only Jackson Hole WhiteWater guests enjoy the privilege of using their River access.
Lunch Spots
Private land access comes with perks—like scenic picnic spots, perfect for a mid-journey lunch and refreshments! What a fantastic location to picnic! Stretch your legs, have a bite to eat and look for a beaver or two!!
History
Snake River Ranch is the largest operating cattle ranch in Jackson Hole (8500 acres). Constructed in the 1930’s, many buildings are part of the National Historic Register. Approximately 3,700 black and red Angus cattle reside on the ranch every summer.
Fun Fact: 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.
FAQ’s
Get quick answers to your most important questions about our scenic float trips.
What happens if I fall out of the boat?
First and foremost—stay calm. Your guide is trained to assist and will work quickly to get you back into the raft. If you’re momentarily swept out of reach, turn your body so your feet are pointed downstream and float on your back with your head above water. This position allows you to see what’s ahead and protect yourself from obstacles.
Continue to float calmly until you can safely rejoin the raft or reach the riverbank.
Before every trip, our expert guides provide a clear and thorough safety briefing—including a hands-on demonstration of what to do in situations like this.
Are there age limits?
WhiteWater Trips: We welcome children 6* and over to whitewater raft with us. There are exceptions to the age limit, so please call if you have any questions.
Scenic Floats: We welcome children 4* and over on our Scenic Floats, which take place on a different part of the Snake River.
*Age limits are subject to change based on the river flow rate.
If you have any questions about bringing your children on either the whitewater or the scenic trips please don’t hesitate to call. The cutoff age for children’s prices on all trips is 12 years of age.
