Middle Fork Trip Report: June 26 - July 4, 1996

Written by Matt Robertson

The middle fork of the Salmon River, through the Frank Church Wilderness area in Idaho, is the longest wild river in the lower 48. It is a stunning, beautiful and untamed river, through some of the most fabulous scenery left in this country. Rafting this river is extremely popular, and is strictly regulated by a lottery permit system. This year we were fortunate enough to be offered a few spots on permit won in the lottery system by a good friend of ours, Pat. He and several of his rafting/kayaking buddies put in for a permit every year, and if anyone gets one, they all get to go.
