Idaho Salmon River Rafting Vacations
Your Vacation Your Way!
The Middle Fork of the Salmon is one of the premium Idaho river rafting trips, rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon River through the heart of Idaho's back country in the River of No Return Wilderness Area. Group size on the Middle Fork is usually larger than on the Main Salmon River. Rafting groups average about 16 passengers, and can be as large as 24 where many of our guests have created lasting friendships. On pre-season or post-season trips, however, group size is smaller, and Aggipah can arrange charter trips for those who want private vacations. For those who prefer to break up five nights of camping, we can arrange for you to spend a night or two in a truly enjoyable riverside lodge with sheets and showers. There is very good catch-and-release trout fishing available while rafting Middle Fork Salmon, especially later in the season after the water drops. We can provide special fishing trips using McKenzie drift boats or two-person rubber boats.
We float 100 miles in six days with technical, on-the-edge white-water. Rafting is the only access to this part of the Middle Fork one of the deepest canyons in Idaho.
With more beaches, warmer water, and more moderate rapids than the Middle Fork, the Main Salmon River rafting is excellent Idaho white water rafting 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 great white water 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. Main Salmon River camps are mostly on sandbars. We can also offer an Idaho river rafting on the Main Salmon River with no camping, staying in cozy riverside lodges each night. We float 80 miles in six days.
White water river rafting on the Lower Salmon River is similar to the Main Salmon River, though rapids are less frequent. Beautiful sand beaches and warmer water temperatures are ideal for swimming. Trout and small mouth bass fishing is good in late summer and early fall. White water rafting in Idaho can begin early in the spring on this section of the Salmon River with late August and September being the best times to be on the Lower Salmon River.
September white water river rafting is under-rated and over-looked of all the Idaho white water rafting trips. September trips are Friday thru Monday, so a trip can be a long weekend rather than a major vacation. Because the trip is only four days and shuttle distance is less, this river trip is a great rafting vacation at a great bargain.
Our fall CAST AND BLAST Chukar hunting / steelhead fishing trips are on the Lower Salmon River, where we find more birds than upstream river sections.
Let us help match an Idaho Rafting trip to your interests.
