Project to Improve Boat Facilities in Snake River in Wyoming

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A national park and a nonprofit group plan to spend $8 million to improve boating facilities and address environmental damage along the Snake River in western Wyoming.

The Snake River Gateways campaign is a joint effort between Grand Teton National Park and the Grand Teton National Park Foundation. The project will focus on boat launches and landings near Moose, Pacific Creek and Jackson Lake Dam.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports plans call for adding shelter for visitors at the busy landing site at Moose. The boat ramp at Pacific Creek will be replaced and a nearby parking area will be reconfigured.

The Jackson Lake Dam site will also get a new boat ramp and parking area.
