Salmon River Rafting In Idaho…Unforgettably Wild, Once In A Lifetime Experience 

In September, we provide scenic float trips on the Middle Fork. Our September trips are primarily small fly fishing trips, although we do have limited seats available for non-fly fishing.

In September, the scenic float experience takes place on our “champagne boats”. We do not have paddle boats or ducky’s this time of year due to low water and cooling water temperatures. Instead, we focus on a comfortable ride and a variety of off-river activities such as scenic side hikes, exploring the geography and history of the canyon, hot springs, exploring pictographs, and simply relaxing and disconnecting in the vast beauty of Idaho’s wilderness.

September is a special time to experience the Middle Fork. As the air temps and water levels begin to drop with the first refreshing breaths of fall, the river corridor changes in several ways. There are much fewer river users in September so we often feel as though we have the entire wilderness to ourselves. We also start to see the colors of the canyon foliage turn bright yellows and reds. This is a great time for anyone who prefers activities such as photography, walking the trails, exploring, or simply relaxing, instead of the whitewater experience of summer.

Please inquire with any questions about this unique, scenic wilderness river experience.
