Schwabacher Landing
Moose, WY
Beaver ponds along a side channel of the Snake River that reflect the Tetons on calm mornings. A 1.6 km gravel road drops from US-191 to a small lot; trailers are best left at the top.
Schwabacher Landing is an access point to the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, near Moose. From here the rugged Tetons mirror in the meandering river; Lonely Planet counts the view among the park's finest scenery. A short gravel road leads to the shore, and the spot is also a popular put-in for rafting trips.
The National Park Service describes the Snake River here as a braided river: a side channel flows shallow and clear to the landing. Beavers have dammed this small channel and reshaped the landscape; gnawed tree stumps are visible. The area is habitat for moose and beavers. On calm, clear mornings after sunrise, the Teton Range reflects in the water.
For your route planning: come early, when the water is still. There is a vault toilet and bins for animal-proof food storage. No reliable information turned up on parking size or suitability for trailers; ask the park beforehand.
