Salmon River Lodge Accommodation Rafting Trips, The Ultimate Idaho Wilderness Adventure & Rustic Luxury
If you are thinking about a Salmon River whitewater rafting or fishing trip but aren’t sure about camping, how about experiencing the Idaho wilderness by boat during the day, and relaxing in backcountry lodges at night? These Idaho Salmon River lodge river rafting trips are especially enjoyed in the spring and fall when the nights can be chilly.
Riverside Lodges a Unique Experience The lodges along the Salmon River are located in the protected Frank Church Wilderness of No Return, which ensures the area remains pristine. With no road access, privacy in the solitude of the wilderness along the Salmon River guarantees a restful night's sleep. You’ll feel as though you have stepped back in time when you experience these lodges, some of which were built by pioneers who once lived along the river. These in-holdings were originally remote homesteads. When livestock-raising faded away at the end of the Depression, they became sportsman’s lodges. We can arrange to spend a night in the middle of a trip at a lodge for a shower and clean sheets, or spend every night of the trip in a lodge. Lodge trips are especially suited to spring and fall, when nights can be chilly. Hot showers and toilets are available at most lodges. In October we stay in lodges on our steelhead fishing trips—they are a lot more comfortable than camping on Halloween.
End Your Salmon River Rafting Trips With a Lodge Stay A variation of the lodge trip is to spend five days floating with us on the Main Salmon down to Shepp Ranch, then spend several days there. Their rooms are very nice, and their meals are wonderful. You can take horses on a trail ride, fly-fish in the stream that passes by your door, take a jet-boat ride, sun on the beach, help Lynn milk the cow, feed the pig, weed the garden, pick peaches, and soak up the history of the site—which has an in-use cabin dating back to the 1870s. After your stay you can fly from their airstrip to town, or ride a whitewater jet-boat down to the end of the road to meet your shuttled car.
Fall Steelhead Fishing Trips can be combined with these trips. Lodge-to-lodge Steelhead Fishing Trips can be arranged on the Main Salmon River in mid-to-late October on which we stay in lodges each night instead of camping. We use the McKenzie boats on these trips. The lodges offer a degree of comfort over camping at this time of year, especially if the weather turns marginal. These Idaho steelhead fishing trips take place within the River of No Return Wilderness Area, which is more isolated than the Lower Salmon. We see bighorn sheep and other wildlife here. We will see some jet boats, but they thin out a few miles from the launch site.
Middle Fork of the Salmon River Rafting Lodge Trips We can spend one or two nights of a Middle Fork rafting trip at a lodge. We cannot spend every night of the trip in lodges because there are fewer of them on this river. Call us for special arrangements.
With more beaches, warmer water, and more moderate rapids than the Middle Fork of Salmon River, the Main Salmon River is an excellent trip for families with grade school age kids. It is great water for inflatable kayaks. The Main Salmon River on the River of No Return, offers excellent Idaho white water rafting intermingled with placid pools, magnificent mountain scenery and beautiful sand beaches along with warm summer temperatures. Group size is usually 8-12 people, and charter trips can be arranged throughout the summer. Because of secure road access and adequate volume of flow, the Main provides the most dependable whitewater rafing in Idaho. We float 80 miles in six days.
There are several lodges to stay at along the Salmon River. What lodges we stay at depend on lodge availability, trip length, and group size.
