Mad River Boat Trips, situated two miles south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is offering its signature Snake River outings through Sept. 27. The outfitter runs both exhilarating whitewater rafting experiences and gentler float trips, and this season it has added two specialty excursions designed for early and late-season river conditions.
The company’s whitewater trips provide classic, adrenaline-filled runs through scenic canyons, while the float trips focus on relaxed, wildlife-friendly river travel with interpretive commentary from experienced guides. The new specialty trips extend the season’s offerings, giving paddlers more options for cooler months when flows and weather alter the river’s character. These early- and late-season trips are tailored to take advantage of lower crowds and unique river views, offering a different perspective from the peak summer experience.
Mad River Boat Trips emphasizes safety and expert guiding on all outings. Guides are trained to read the Snake River’s currents and tailor each trip to group ability and river conditions. Rafting trips typically include proper safety equipment and briefings before launch, while float trips focus on a comfortable pace suited to families, photographers, and those seeking wildlife viewing opportunities.
Beyond the main river experiences, the operator’s location near Jackson Hole makes it easy for visitors to combine a river adventure with other area activities—hiking, wildlife tours, and exploring the town’s dining and shopping options. The company’s season-ending date of Sept. 27 makes the late-season specialty trips a good choice for travelers planning shoulder-season visits who still want an active outdoor experience.
Whether you’re chasing rapids or seeking a peaceful float, Mad River Boat Trips offers options to match different comfort levels and interests. With knowledgeable guides, attention to safety, and the addition of the early- and late-season specialty trips, the outfitter provides compelling reasons to experience the Snake River before the season closes.
