Cache Bridge (also known as "Packsaddle") is a boat ramp access point on the Teton River near Tetonia, Idaho. This is a popular takeout spot for paddlers completing float trips from upstream launches like Bates Bridge or Rainey, with typical float times of 1.5–2.5 hours. The access is suitable for kayaks, canoes, rafts, and SUPs navigating the Class I flat water upstream.
**Practical Details:** Parking is limited and can fill quickly on busy summer weekends, though space is usually adequate on most days. To reach the ramp from Highway 33, head west on 4000 North/Packsaddle Road toward the mountains—the ramp will be on the left-hand side of the road after crossing the river. Paddlers should be aware that downstream from this access point, the Teton River becomes significantly more challenging, with Class IV/V whitewater within a few miles, so this is an ideal takeout for flat-water paddlers.
