The Middle Fork of the Salmon River sweeps through 2.3 million acres of spectacular, pristine landscape in the heart of Idaho ’s River of No Return Wilderness, the largest roadless area in the United States outside of Alaska. Middle Fork Rapid Transit, family owned and operated, has guided Idaho white water rafting river trips down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River since 1980.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon River inspires awe and respect in those who have seen it.  Longing and affection for those who remember it. It is one of the most coveted river experiences in the world. Every year, thousands of people apply to float down its 100-mile course through one of the last best places in America.  What draws them here?

Is it the pristine air and water?  Is it the breathtaking scenery? Is it throwing out a line in a premier trout stream? The chance to see deer, elk and mountain sheep in their natural environments? Or is it just being able to get away from the rat race and slow down for a week? The answer is probably, "yes." But the Middle Fork is jealously guarded. Only a few lucky explorers get to float down it every year. Thanks to Middle Fork Rapid Transit, you could be one of them.
