“Big Eddy”/Rainey Fish and Game Access and Public Camping
- From the stoplight in Driggs, drive west on Bates Road, toward the Big Hole Mountains
- After you cross the Bates Bridge, continue driving another .5 miles to a Y intersection
- At the Y intersection, continue driving straight west (do not follow the curve to the left/south) Drive west another 1.2 miles until you come to two metal silos on your right.
- Turn right (north) on the dirt road just past the silos. There is a brown Fish and Game Access sign at this turn-off.
- Drive north on this dirt road until you come to the Fish and Game Access sign. Turn right (east, towards the Teton Mountains) and drive until you reach the Rainey Access on the Teton River and the end of the road.
Rainey is the second most popular put-in an the Teton River and the most common take-out. The river downstream from here has numerous bends often with willow “strainers” along the bank. Float time from Rainey to Packsaddle is approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours. For those looking for a long float add on the previous section.
