Lewis & Clark is proud to deliver a Jackson Hole-worthy outdoor experience. Since 1971, we've offered Snake River Canyon Whitewater Trips southwest of Jackson Hole. We've guided families with six-year-olds, groups, grandparents, honeymooners, scouts, locals, and thrill-seekers. We specialize in novice rafters and have expert outdoor guides.
Our guided paddle rafts take you through famous rapids including "Lunch Counter," "Big Kahuna," and "Champagne." Launching at West Table and taking out at Sheep Gulch takes 3–4 hours round-trip from our town office. Calm stretches and swimming opportunities accompany eight miles of Class II and III rapids.
Our Class II and III run is perfect for adventurers and families with beginners. Choose our Classic Raft for group or family fun, which is great for novices. Or try our Small Boats, which are wetter and offer a more intimate and adrenaline-pumping trip. Private rafts are also available, and we depart every two hours with both sizes of rafts, depending on river conditions.

Classic Whitewater Raft
Our 17-foot self-bailing Classic Raft is built to handle the Snake River all season long. It carries 8-12 paddlers through all the legendary Snake River Rapids, including Lunch Counter, Big Kahuna, Champagne, and Ropes. It’s a thrilling ride for all, with a typical minimum age of 6 (depending on conditions). Lewis & Clark continues to place fewer people in our rafts to lower the chances of Covid 19 transmission though extra space and smaller group size.

Small Boat Whitewater Raft
If you’re looking to turn your Snake River experience up a notch, Lewis & Clark is your best choice. No other outfitter offers a raft more exciting than our 13-foot self-bailers. With 4-7 paddling positions, this truly small boat guarantees more thrills per mile than any other on the Snake. It’s not just an “8-man raft.” It’s Jackson Hole’s smallest guided boat, and the last true paddle raft left in the valley. (all other companies run their “8-man rafts” with rear-mount oar frames + paddle assist.) The minimum age is 8-10, depending on conditions. Small boats are not available during high water season. If you book a small boat during a time when we expect to have high water, we will ask you if you are willing to move to a larger raft if required. In this case, you would be refunded the difference. Your safety is the only reason for this policy.
