middle fork Idaho’s Middle Fork of the Salmon River is the nation’s premier wilderness river. Offering a spectacular journey of both whitewater adventure and wilderness solitude, the Middle Fork is a crystal clear, pristine mountain river that tumbles through the heart of Idaho’s 2.3 million-acre River of No Return Wilderness Area

whitewater rafting The Middle Fork offers a new rapid or riffle around every corner. It is a wonderfully diverse river with whitewater ranging from long technical rapids that require precise maneuvering, to exhilarating drops at Velvet and Tappan Falls, to the heart-pounding big waves of the Impassable Canyon. There are over 80 rapids in all with the largest being class IV.

fishing tours If you enjoy fishing, the Middle Fork of the Salmon is one of the premier trout streams in the West. An almost endless stretch of pools and riffles. A succession of perfect spots for fly and spin casters to try for native rainbows and Westslope cutthroats, known locally as “redsides.” Or perhaps you’ll land an elusive Dolly Varden.

camp and cuisine The standard of excellence extended by Middle Fork River Tours continues off of the Salmon River with our comfortably detailed camp. Be assured that we take care of all camp chores while you swim, fish, hike, relax in a hot spring, or just enjoy this beautiful river setting. When your whitewater raft hits the beach after a day of fun on the river, you will find your tent already set up, drinks and hors d’oeuvres waiting, with gourmet dutch oven cuisine to follow.
