JACKSON, Wyo. — Snake River Fund and Jackson Hole Kayak Club both have a rich history of supporting the Snake River and the community that has formed around it. And this year, they’re combining forces to host a celebration honoring all members of that community in the form of SNAKE RIVER FEST!
Whether you enjoy the heart pounding descent of a high-water Greys or you live for those lazy summer afternoons at BLM Parcel 23, Snake River Fest has something for you. This will be an amalgamation of historically successful events put on by both organizations combined into one fun-filled weekend. Join us June 2-5 for the inaugural Snake River Fest.
“The Snake River is not only a marvelous natural resource; it is also an indispensable economic and recreational engine for our community,” said Snake River Fund Executive Director Jared Baecker. “It’s high time we bring all river users and lovers together for a holistic celebration.”
All Snake River Fest details including tickets, competition registration, volunteer registration and more can be found at online.
