Overview
Idaho is known as the "Whitewater Capital" and summer requires an escape to one of the many incredible Idaho rivers. However in Idaho, there is one river that is supreme over the others, the world famous Salmon River. In the over 400 miles of unobstructed river that makes up the Salmon, no section packs as much adventure into so few miles as the Riggins half-day section. This 12 miles of river makes for the perfect escape on a hot summer day, so grab your family or friends and come explore the Salmon River with us!
