Helfrich River Outfitters

"First class outfitter. One of our best vacations ever on the middle fork of the Salmon River. Great food, hard working and knowledgeable guides. Cannot say enough about what a great experience we had."

"Always a pleasure to float remote Idaho and Oregon rivers with this multi-generational Helfrich Outfitters family guide service business. Their attention to detail, river safety, guest comfort, food innovation, quality and health standards is most impressive. Kelsey runs a tight but fun ship, balanced with lots of fun for guests and guides alike. The Helfrich culture attracts only the best, brightest, safest and most entertaining guides on the river. Kudos to Ken & Kelsey on a most successful transition!"

"Absolutely one of the best experiences, ever! This outfit has it down! They are unbelievably attentive to all your needs. They are so prepared, so safety minded, yet relaxed! When we do another river trip, which we will, they will be who we choose."

"Are you are wondering if you should book a trip with Helfrish Outfitters? BOOK YOUR TRIP NOW!! The trip we took on the Middle fork of the Salmon river in July and August of 2022 was absolutely FANTASTIC! From the start with booking and all the way to where we put out of the river, Helfrich and it's guides were professional and caring! Our group ranged from 7 to 80 years of age and everyone had a great time and was well taken care of! We always felt safe on the water and off. Fishing was fun (even for novices!) The guides are experts at teaching you how to fly-fish and are with you every step of the way! I could go on and on about this company and it's guides! Great food, camp sites, sight seeing, animal spotting, hiking, horseback riding and fellowship. BOOK NOW!!"

"We did the full day River Rafting trip with Helfrich River Outfitters and it was awesome! Nate, our guide, made the experience memorable. They have grown up on the river so they have so much knowledge about the area. This was my first time on the McKenzie river and rafting. What a great way to experience the beauty. We stopped for lunch, where Jonnie and other guides joined us. Lunch & the additional company was great. Definitely a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! Would highly recommend Helfrich River Outfitters."
