Float the Teton with FTR and River Cleanup
The Teton River provides an incredible variety of recreation opportunities. Come float with us, bring your Teton River related questions and participate in informal conversations about the current watershed conservation projects and the status of the Teton River fishery. For this float we are partnering with Wai Mauna SUP Tours. Wai Mauna will provide free shuttle and paddleboard rental for $20 with proceeds to benefit FTR and we will pick up any trash as we move downstream.
You must bring your PFD and have appropriate skills/experience to navigate your watercraft on moving water.

Betsy first visited Teton Valley as a 10-year-old from Atlanta, GA, on a family trip west (station wagon and pop-up camper in tow), and knew from that point that the Tetons were amazing and the Rockies were where she wanted to be when she grew up. With a B.A. in Biology and an M.A. in Geography, she enjoyed a career in natural resource management with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service, the last 20 years in Utah and Montana. In 2022, she and her husband Dan started building their home in Tetonia, moving here in 2023, and are enjoying the outdoor joys of the Tetons and getting to know Teton Valley. She enjoys all things outdoors, particularly hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and trying to dabble in bikepacking; loves traveling although finds leaving their senior tabby to be so hard.
