The Teton River is a tributary of the Snake River located in eastern Idaho. It stretches about 81 miles, originating in the Teton Range of Wyoming and flowing westward into Idaho. The river is known for its scenic beauty and diverse recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, and camping.

The Teton River has a complex hydrology system due to its location in the Snake River watershed. There are several dams and reservoirs along the river, including the Teton Dam and the Palisades Reservoir, which provide irrigation water for agriculture and hydroelectric power.

The Teton Dam, which was completed in 1976, was a significant engineering feat but tragically failed within a year of construction, causing a devastating flood that killed 11 people and destroyed numerous homes and farms.

Today, the Teton River is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and supports a variety of agricultural practices, including potato and wheat farming. Despite its past challenges, the Teton River continues to provide valuable resources and recreational opportunities for the surrounding communities.
