Kings Wave Boat Ramp

King's Wave Kayak Access is a day-use-only highway turnout located about 20 minutes south of Jackson near Hoback Junction, offering parking with trailer turnaround and a short trail with wooden stairs leading down to the Snake River's famous King's Wave play wave for kayak surfing.

The site has no facilities, no cellular service, and is free to use thanks to Snake River Fund support.
