Gourmet evening meal on the Main Salmon River

Perhaps the most popular rafting trip in Idaho and the main section of the longest undammed river in the mainland U.S., the Main Salmon offers a rich river experience. Inappropriately dubbed the ‘River of No Return’ by early river runners, the Salmon is in fact a river you’ll want to return to repeatedly. The Wild & Scenic Main Salmon is ideal for our full fleet of watercraft. Guests may ride in an oar boat one day and a wooden dory the next, then challenge the whitewater hands-on in a paddle raft, SUP or inflatable kayak.

The Main Salmon River plays host to many boat types including rafts, dories and inflatable kayaks

Free-flowing Class III whitewater that’s great for any age and experience level, big sandy beaches perfect for camping and playing, beautiful mountain scenery, abundant wildlife, and a natural hot spring are among the hallmarks of the Main Salmon River.
