Overview

The heart of the Hagerman Valley is the Snake River Canyon. For fishermen, water skiers, boaters, bird watchers, and white water enthusiasts, the Snake is one of the premier rivers of the West. Its high, palisade walls are a majestic sight for rafters and kayakers as they tumble over boiling rapids or lazily drift through the quiet stretches.
