Yes there are snakes that swim in the Snake River. May and June there can be a lot.

The question had nothing to do with the naming of the river.

From rattlesnakes to bull snakes.

Grew up in the Wallowa valley .

Yes - I have seen them when I was fishing.

No . . . The Snake River is simply named for its winding, snake-like shape.

The name Snake comes from a misconception of the sign for Snake Indians (Shoshoni Indians) who lived along the Snake River, the sign made by a serpentine motion of the hand with the index finger extended. This is thought a reference to the weaving of the grass, a reasonable assumption, since the Shoshoni or Snake Indians are known as "grass-house people. This sign was mistaken as the sign of a Snake therefore the Shoshoni people became the Snake Indians by the settlers and trappers and the river they lived by became the Snake River for the people that lived by it.
