Middle Fork Salmon Information

A new site is up for Middle Fork of the Salmon information. It is at www.MiddleForkSalmon.org and has a wealth of information for private boaters and folks looking for commercial trips on the Middle Fork.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon is a beautiful river. Those who get to float it are treated to 100 pristine miles of designated Wild and Scenic river, all while floating through the heart of the Frank Church- River of No Return Wilderness Area. The Frank Church is 2.3 million acres in size, making it the largest managed Wilderness Area in the Lower 48.

There is also a basic Middle Fork Salmon map on the new site, which users can copy and paste and print for their trip. It's definitely worth checking out!

Middle Salmon Rafting Trips

Check this out:

New site at www.MiddleSalmon.com offering trips on the Middle Salmon in Idaho. This river is most commonly referred to as the "Middle Fork of the Salmon" and is a tributary to mighty Main Salmon (aka "river of no return"). Idaho River Journeys offers rafting vacations on both of these stretches of river and has been outfitting in Idaho for over 30 years!

Hope to see some water SOON.
