Soak up the sun. Watch the little ones. Ramble with the river. The Lower Salmon River in Idaho meanders warm, wide and mellow, making it a great rafting getaway for young families or beginning rafters. Idaho's Salmon River is home to some of America’s most beautiful inland river beaches, super-sandy and sprawling alongside clear, mellow pools and inflatable kayak play spots. There’s no shortage on thrill seeking too. Some of Idaho’s most famous whitewater rapids, gorges and viewscapes—like Demons Drop, Snow Hole and Blue Canyon are just around the bend. The Lower Salmon River exhibits a side of Idaho seldom seen by most visitors. Distinguished from the forests and mountains that make up much of Idaho’s wilderness, this river runs through the warmer, drier canyon country of the Seven Devils. The Lower Salmon is also a veritable treasure chest of intriguing stories and relics from the past. Known human history dates back to a mind-boggling 10,000 years ago when the first humans inhabited the river canyon, leaving a wealth of Native American rock art.

1 testimonial about this trip

  1. Reviewer: Jordahl family located in Springboro, OH USA
    We just returned from our first trip with your company. We just wanted to let you know that we had a great time and we absolutely loved our guides. They made the trip so much fun for us all (and even our finicky, high-maintenance kids!) We look forward to our next trip on the Middle Fork either next year or the year after that. Seriously, it was even better than we thought it would be. We are having river withdrawal in a big way! Being parents isn't always an easy job and we think an important part of it is to give your kids experiences that they can keep with them in their heart. It is safe to say that this trip will be with them in their hearts and minds (ours too!) for a long time and a big part of that is due to our guides. We thank them for that and much more! Looking forward to seeing the river and them again as SOON as possible!

    We loved our trip with Oars to Peru and now we only want to do more active vacations. We did like our comfy hotels at the end of the day and the great food but really enjoyed the outdoor aspects. Great Job!
