IDAHO'S MAIN SALMON RIVER | "The River of No Return"
One of the most sought-after Idaho whitewater rafting trips is the "Main Salmon River". The Salmon River boasts the longest free flowing river system in the continental United States. Our guests consistently use words like "exciting", "exhilarating" and "unforgettable" to describe their river rafting vacation on this river. The Main Salmon River has huge white sand beaches, great swimming, heavily forested canyons, crystal-clear side streams and abundant wildlife. The Salmon River Canyon offers some of North America's most famous white water rapids such as Chittam, Salmon Falls, Split Rock, and Elkhorn. The always-impressive Big Mallard was designated one of the 10 biggest whitewater drops in America by River Runner Magazine.
