Gorges of the Lower Salmon Family Rafting Adventure
Soak up the Idaho sun on a Lower Salmon River rafting trip. Watch the little ones. Ramble with the river. The Lower Salmon River meanders warm, wide and mellow, making it a great Idaho rafting getaway for young families and folks with a liking for summer's lazy, hazy days. The 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 whitewater river rafting thrills, though. Some of Idaho's most famous rapids, gorges and viewscapes, like Demon's Drop, Snow Hole and Blue Canyon, are just around the bend.
Available 4 or 5 days, June through September
