In 2016, the most popular public access point for the Teton River came up for sale. We mobilized a collaborative of conservation partners to protect it for public use forever.
Acquired the 80-acre parcel and transfer to Teton County
Protected most acreage under a conservation easement
Teamed up with Teton County and Fish & Game to rebuild the river access and degraded wetlands and eliminate safety hazards
Installed a trailhead kiosk, restroom with mural, life jacket borrowing station, and a half-mile loop river trail
