3. Lower Salmon River Rafting

Lower Salmon River Rafting Idaho

The Lower Salmon River is home to one of the best river trips in North America. If you want beautiful beaches and big waves in a western river canyon, this is the trip for you. It’s the essence of river rafting Idaho. The Salmon River Canyons are a different kind of Idaho river rafting experience than the Middle Fork of the Salmon. It’s lower in elevation, which means the water is warmer. The weather is usually warmer as well. Swimming and napping on the beach are encouraged. Lower Salmon River rafting trips are usually shorter and cost less than other Salmon River trips, which means they are great for families or anyone who wants a relaxing introduction to raft trips.
