Description: From the Middle of the River
From the Middle of the River
In the summer the Snake River is sluggish-looking and seems to meander. There’s mossy patches and the water level is lower.
Beneath its dark surface lie swift undercurrents funneling through deep passages. In fact, the Snake River at Hells Canyon is the deepest gorge in the North American continent. It still lures boaters and swimmers, especially when the temperature climbs above one-hundred degrees.
