The Glenns Ferry Hog Fest

The WWA hosts the Hog Fest each year on the Snake River near Glenns Ferry, Idaho.  The event is held on a weekend in mid-March, with overnight camping at Three Island Crossing State Park.  The Fest includes a river run on Saturday, followed by a potluck and pig roast on Saturday night.  Most folks stay over and run again on Sunday.  The run starts early on Saturday; so people typically arrive Friday evening.  The launch is at the Glenns Ferry boat ramp, and the run proceeds up the Snake River to a point between Pilgrim Rapids and Peg Leg Rapids.  This is a popular event and typically, about fifty boats participate.

The run is not exceedingly difficult, but there are a couple of rapids that warrant proper respect and due diligence.
