This is a whitewater put-in on the Snake River in Teton County, Wyoming, located in the upper reaches of this major river system. The Snake River at this location is characterized by significant gradient and strong current, with an average velocity of 10.81 feet per second and a steep average gradient of 15.8 feet per mile. As a major river with stream order 9 status, the Snake River carries substantial volume with average flows exceeding 49,000 cubic feet per second. This put-in provides access to a section of river that experiences considerable gradient and fast-moving water typical of whitewater paddling conditions.
Boaters using this access point should be prepared for dynamic current conditions and the challenging terrain characteristic of this elevation and drainage basin. The river's proximity to its headwaters and the significant elevation change across the watershed indicate this is a swift, energetic section of the Snake River. Paddlers should have appropriate skills and equipment for whitewater conditions and be aware that the strong current and steep gradient create technical paddling situations.
