What's this trip about?

    Welcome to the Lower Salmon River...and a rafting trip only dreams are made of! This is the legendary Salmon River of No Return where beautiful white-sand beaches glisten in the warm sun. Where 70-degree water beckons swimmers of all ages (Check out our family only trips) and whitewater rapids splash and make everyone beam with big grins from ear to ear. No other rafting river in the United States is like the Lower Salmon River. The river boasts such a perfect combination of fun, intermediate rapids, awe-inspiring western scenery and gigantic white sand beaches with idyllic camping conditions. Daytime temperatures are typically 85 to 95 degrees and this, coupled with the warm river water, make for a rafting vacation like no other.
