Over 3200 miles of whitewater exist in the state of Idaho - more whitewater river miles than anywhere in the lower 48 states – and most of this water is in North Central Idaho!
From a gentle drift to a white-water roller coaster ride - this awesome part of Idaho called 'North Central Idaho' - has the whitewater you're looking for. Trips range from a few hours to several days in untracked wilderness. Licensed outfitters are available to make your trip safe and enjoyable.
Outfitters offer rafting trips of all kinds for all ages and abilities. Families enjoy fun excursions on rivers such as the Main Salmon. Sightseers like quiet flat-water floats on rivers such as the Clearwater River. Whitewater seekers go for the Middle Fork of the Salmon, Lochsa, Selway, or the Snake River through Hells Canyon.
Idaho outfitters take care of everything on these trips. Outfitters row the rafts or lead guests who paddle their own. Tents and waterproof gear bags are provided. Enjoy homecooked meals, including salads made from fresh fruits and vegetables and Dutch-oven baked breads and desserts. At the end of the day as the sun sets in the canyon, gather around a campfire with your fellow paddlers. With the help of a local outfitter, explore the scenic rivers that flow through North Central Idaho.
