01

Find an outfitter

There is an amazing diversity of high quality outfitters offering many different trip styles on the Salmon River. Ask questions, visit websites, and choose an outfitter that best matches your needs and timeline.

To preserve the wilderness feel and character of the Salmon only a few outfitters are licensed to launch a trip each day. To learn who will be starting a trip on the the date you want, click the calendar feature to the right. You may also view all Salmon River outfitters to the left. Also keep in mind that each outfitter is only allowed a certain number of guests per launch, and many dates sell out fast.
