About the gros ventre river
The Gros Ventre River is a tributary of the Snake River, located in western Wyoming. The river is approximately 80 miles long and has a drainage basin of 800 square miles. The river is named after the Gros Ventre people, a Native American tribe that once inhabited the area. The river’s flow is primarily fed by snowmelt and rainfall. There are no major reservoirs or dams on the Gros Ventre River, but the river does provide water for irrigation and supports a variety of recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife including moose, elk, and bald eagles.
