ACCESS
Dedicated to promoting public access to the Snake River watershed; from helping public agencies fund needed boat ramp repairs and special training to keeping your favorite river recreational locales public.
Snake River Fund has led the way in making sure your river stays public for the enjoyment of current and future generations. Through our continued efforts and partnerships, areas of the Snake River will always be available for our community.
