New this summer: life jacket loaner stations are now up at Jackson Lake Dam, Pacific Creek Landing, String Lake, and Colter Bay Swim Beach!

You might also spot the Snake River Ambassadors helping maintain these stations—a volunteer crew ready to answer questions and help you stay safe on the water.
