After picking out your desired section of the river and loading up your gear, drive to the upstream or starting location of your route. Here, drop off all but one member of your party, the car straps, and one life jacket. The remaining member should then drive to the final location and drop the car off. From here, they should call Cowboy Cab (307-200-1200), an Uber, or a Lyft back to the starting location with all awaiting members.
Plan on wearing synthetic clothing that wicks aware moisture quickly. This recommendation does NOT include cotton as it tends to stay wet for long periods of time. Try to wear shoes you do not mind getting wet and stay safely secured on your feet (i.e not flip flops). We also recommend having a cozy pair of dry clothes to change in after your river rafting trip. Trust us that there are few things better than a pair of dry clothes after a long day on the river!
Rent-A-Raft is located right on the Snake River, near its confluence with the Hoback River, 13 miles south of Jackson at Hoback Junction on Highway 89



About the Owner

Rod Lewis

Picture of Rod LewisRod Lewis began his adventures in Alaska when he worked for Halibut Producers Cooperative managing their dock and trolling supplies from Alaska to Washington. These adventures eventually led to Rod's introduction to river running. He first got his feet wet by first running four different river trips for the commercial fishing division of the Alaskan Fish Department, and then decided to transition to the Snake in Wyoming. Here in 1969, he realized with his brothers that there couldn't be a more spectacular profession than running rivers under the shadows the of Tetons.

In conjunction with Lewis & Clark expeditions and with the help of his cousin, Steve Magner, Rod decided to launch Canyon Graphics, the first white water photo business in the country. Then in 1976 after wild success, Canyon Graphics attracted CBS Evening News to come out and film the racing pigeons used to deliver the rolls of freshly shot photos.

Finally, Rod decided to found Rent-A-Raft to provide self-guided rafts and inflatables at Hoback Junction. This new model gave people autonomy, placing prioritiy on personalizable trips at preferred locations and speeds. After looking back at his achievements Rod continually references Kenneth Grahame's words…

"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
