California Salmon River Rafting
Experienced paddlers, are you ready to step up your game to class V wilderness rafting? The California Salmon River is the place to do it!
Due to the remoteness of this run, we offer a two-day base camp approach to running the Cal Salmon.
Day one will allow you and your group to warm up on the thrilling Class III to IV+ Butler Creek run. Day two is the main event. Your group will put in for the famous Nordheimer Run, which includes several powerful and technically challenging Class V rapids such as Cascade and Freight Train highlighting practically non-stop Class IV whitewater in a narrow, granite gorge.
Depending on the season and flows, additional runs may be available if you wish to extend your trip, but the challenging days described above already make for a long, full weekend of boating that will tire out even seasoned paddlers! We will work with interested trip leaders to develop a perfect itinerary for every group.
- Meeting time and place: TBD by particular group logistics.
- Season to go: Available into June. This river does not run indefinitely. Call today for more info!
- Length of trip: 2+ days, depending on meeting logistics.
- Minimum age: 18-years-old. Experienced paddlers only!
All trips include rafting equipment, a guide prepared & catered breakfast lunch and dinner plus snacks on all days. All base camp amenities except for personal camping gear will be provided for you.
