Main Salmon River Whitewater Guide

The main branch of the Salmon River in Idaho is among the best multi-day whitewater river trips in the United States for families with kids. Huge, sandy beaches. Splashy rapids with big catcher mitt pools below them. Warm water during the summer months means lots of splash wars, ducky adventures, and overall floating. And with 81 miles of river, it’s a long river trip, making it an ideal summer vacation.
