Watersports
Raft, kayak or tube Idaho’s wild rivers and their rapids. Along the Salmon and Payette rivers hot springs, Indian pictographs, thousand-foot cliffs and trout fishing are a few of the treats found in a day’s journey.
The gentle but exhilarating rapids on the day-stretches of the Salmon River are perfect for families looking for a little excitement. Several local outfitters offer single or multi-day river trips for rafters or kayakers. Or, head south of Ketchum for a day of flat-water kayaking and wildlife viewing in the Silver Creek Preserve.
