A healthy river ecosystem supports much more than just fish. Numerous species of birds and mammals hunt, graze, breed, and live in and by the water.  On your trip down the Snake, pay close attention to your surroundings. Trees that line the river are perfect nesting spots for bald eagles. A braided channel could be the perfect spot to build a beaver dam and lodge. A cow moose and her calf could step out from the trees to eat underwater plants. Curious about what else you might see? Wander through the educational posts—you’ll discover something new at each turn.

Just like the river supports different plant and wildlife communities, our park partners and donors support Grand Teton. Moose Landing is one of many Snake River Gateways reconstructed to improve your experience at these iconic river access points. Jackson Lake Dam, Pacific Creek Landing, and Moose Landing’s renewal was made possible by Grand Teton National Park Foundation’s support.
