Middle Fork on the Salmon River Downloadable Map

The Middle Fork of the Salmon River runs approximately 100 miles from Boundary Creek to the Cache Bar boat ramp through the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness in central Idaho, the largest designated wilderness area in the lower 48 states. The canyon drops steadily throughout the run, passing natural hot springs, side canyons, and a number of historical sites. Trips typically take five to seven days. Access is limited to a small number of permitted launches per day, making advance planning essential for anyone looking to run it.
