A whitewater rafting vacation in Idaho is an experience you’ll never forget! We offer weeklong rafting trips on Idaho’s famed Middle Fork of the Salmon. This spectacular wilderness white water river is the Salmon River’s largest tributary. The crystal-clear free-flowing river is spring fed from high alpine meadows. The upper reaches of the Middle Fork River drainage drops rapidly through thickly forested alpine settings, then, aided by dozens of tributaries, it soon doubles in size becoming a rushing whitewater river with major rapids. As dense forest greenery gives way, the Middle Fork canyon alternates between grassy mountain meadows and sheer granite cliffs. During July, August and September, fly-fishing the Middle Fork of the Salmon is truly a world-class experience. This river is a blue ribbon “wild” cutthroat trout fishery.
The MIddle Fork of the Salmon
The crown jewel of the Wild and Scenic Rivers’ System and the most pristine free flowing river in the lower 48 states, your adventure through Idaho’s River of No Return Wilderness on your Middle Fork of the Salmon River is a click away.
