Idaho’s legendary Main Salmon River is the quintessential western white water rafting river trip featuring roaring & splashy rapids, wilderness campsites & great fishing.

Sunset magazine named the Main Salmon River the “Best Guided Outdoor Trip” & we 100% agree.

Get exclusive & private access to one of the most highly-regulated wilderness sections of river in the world that flows 81 miles without roads through the largest wilderness area outside of Alaska, the Frank Church "River of No Return" Wilderness Area. At 2.4 million acres, the only access into"The Frank" is by flying, on horseback, by hiking or by boating on the Salmon River.

On the Main Salmon River, we run a variety whitewater river watercraft so you can try all of them during your multi-day whitewater journey through "The Frank."

The Salmon River was named "The River of No Return” by early prospectors because of its length & size. It is miles & miles of free-flowing whitewater that is followed by calm, mellow sections with perfect temperatures during summer.

In the early prospecting days, it was nearly impossible to transport watercraft back up-river once it completed a trip through the wilderness. Most vessels never returned for another run & they never returned to the Salmon River.

Unlike prospectors' watercraft, once you experience its whitewater & beauty, the Salmon River is a river you’ll want to return to raft again & again.
