Northwest Rafting Company - Salmon River

"My husband, a few other family members, and I used Northwest Rafting Company to float the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in July 2023, and I am constantly wanting to get back on the river because of how the guides made the trip so enjoyable! The guides, Dan, Brodie, Cody, Katie, Natalie, Conor, and Ellie, were the best of the best! They were fun, knowledgeable, skilled (always felt safe with them), and so hardworking! I was so impressed with them preparing meals, cleaning up meals, setting up/taking down camp, rowing/paddling all day- the list goes on, yet they never showed tiredness and they made time to sit and chat with us. The food was also amazing - way better than what I was expecting! Not only do you get your three meals - but you also get snacks and appetizers that are excellent! I also just appreciate the overall organization of the trip - camp organization and how our day was spent on the river. My husband and I are already trying to find some friends and/or family to join us again on the Middle Fork, and we would use this company again with no hesitation."

"One of the coolest experiences I've ever had! Firstly, the people at NRC are fantastic. Every interaction I had was helpful, professional, and clear. Being on the river was wonderful. I felt completely secure with our very experienced and personable guides. It was my first-ever rafting trip and I am a total convert. Would highly recommend this company. It was the perfect blend of being taken care of and camping. We saw bald eagles, mink, and bighorn sheep. The terrain is beyond stunning. Go if you can, and these folks will take good care of you."

"Best trip ever. Amazing group of professional, knowledgeable, and easy going guides. We had so much fun! Northwest Rafting took care of us every step of the way. This is one of the greatest outdoor trips anywhere in the world and Northwest is the best company on the Middle Fork."

"We had an amazing trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with NWRC in August! This was my third trip with this company, and it was as incredible as the rest.Their COVID protocols made us feel safe without being invasive. The quality of the guides, excellent gear, and the delicious food make this the best company on this river. The Middle Fork is one of the most beautiful and natural rivers in the US and the rapids are fun without being too intimidating. Book your trip now, you won't regret it!"

"We had a wonderful family trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with Northwest Rafting this summer. Everything about it was top-notch, from the pre-trip communications from the NW Rafting office, to the welcome/orientation meeting, the quick flight from Stanley to river put-in, and of course the river itself. NW Rafting's experienced guides are always great, super personable both on- and off-water, really competent, and very hospitable. The rafting & whitewater were really fun, and the off-river activities - hikes, explorations, great campsites - put the trip over the top. Our extended party (3 families, kids aged 9-18) had a good time all around. We booked this trip a year in advance and we're glad we did, as they only get a certain allotment of spaces on the river each year."
