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.
