Floating on the Snake River through Grand Teton National Park is an inspiring experience. Around every bend, boaters are presented with unique and stunning views of the Teton Range. The incredible beauty and accessibility, combined with the Wild and Scenic designation, have led to increased recreational use on the river in recent years. This has led park officials to develop a volunteer program that aims to create a positive and safe experience for people floating the Snake River.

Grand Teton’s Snake River Ambassador program educates visitors about the potential hazards and necessary skills to safely navigate the river in the park. By interacting with users at access points before they launch their boats, volunteer ambassadors will help increase safety, prevent accidents, and improve visitors’ experiences.
