Place
Jackson Lake Dam Launch
Canoe/Kayak/Small Boat Launch, Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
Location: Access the Snake River below the Jackson Lake Dam near the north end of the Teton Park Road. Just north of the dam, turn south on a paved road that leads to a small gravel parking lot.
Notes: The easiest section of the Snake River through the park is the float from the Dam to Pacific Creek. Other than early season, the flows are moderate as the volume of water released from the dam is reduced. There is a vault toilet near the picnic area, but no water or other facilities. There is no boat ramp at this location. Boats must be carried to the water.
