Eight days on the Snake: A 206-mile canoe journey on the Snake River Water Trail Scott McIntosh, The Idaho Statesman
May 5 David Caraccio
After exploring the entire length, from Glenns Ferry, Idaho, to Farewell Bend State Park, Oregon, it s clear more people should paddle this trail.
We heard the roar of the rapids before we saw them.
We knew they were coming, but just the sound of the churning water was enough to give us a jolt of adrenaline, and we could feel the Snake River pulling our canoe a little harder and a little faster downriver. It had grown cold and cloudy, and the last thing we wanted to do was to take a dip in the cold, swift water.
Petrosa Neighborhood Park plans also discussed
