Your Family Will Love Rafting These 3 Idaho Rivers
As you plan a family getaway for next summer, consider a whitewater
rafting trip. In Idaho alone, you’ll find several rivers perfect for
family getaways. You can even book all-inclusive rafting tours down many
of these rivers.
For instance, you can go on Salmon River or Snake River rafting tours. But what makes these rivers ideal for family vacations? Here’s a look at a few Idaho rivers and what makes them so welcoming.
The River of No Return: The Salmon River
While a name like The River of No Return might sound ominous to anyone
planning a family vacation, it’s anything but. The nickname refers to
the river currents, which made it incredibly difficult to travel
upstream, especially for early explorers and settlers in the region.
Today, the Salmon River is welcoming to all kinds of adventures.
Certain sections of the river, including those in west-central Idaho,
offer class II, III, and IV rapids. Kids as young as 7 are sure to have a
blast on splashy 4-day whitewater rafting trips down the Salmon River!
From East to West: The Snake River
The Snake River is Idaho’s most prominent river. It starts in
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and ends where it meets the
Columbia River in Washington. In between, you have hundreds of miles of
river ready to be explored.
This includes the miles of river that travel through Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Family adventure trips for Snake River rafting Idaho take you through this canyon, which is rich in history, wildlife, hiking trails, fishing spots, and so much more!
A River of Many Forks: The Payette River
The Payette River is a tributary of the Snake River. It’s also a
prominent Idaho river with several forks, including the North Fork,
Middle Fork, and South Fork, that run through some of Idaho’s most
pristine wilderness.
During the summer, many people float the
Payette along calmer sections of the river. However, several sections
offer a more thrilling, but welcoming experience. Rafting the section
between Crouch and Horseshoe Bend, for example, is a great way to spend a
couple of days with the family.
