Idaho River Trips With OARS Dories In 1972, Martin Litton sent a young dory guide to Lewiston to expand his fledgling river company, Grand Canyon Dories, into new territory. Since then, OARS Dories has been operating first-class Idaho river trips on the Snake River through Hells Canyon and on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, Main Salmon and the Gorges of the Lower Salmon River.

From Lewiston, Hells Canyon Raft operates SALMON RIVER CANYONS. This 4 and 5-day all-inclusive river trip boasts the longest remaining free flowing river system in the lower 48 states. An Ideal Family Vacation, the “Lower Salmon” offers huge white sand beaches, perfect for throwing the Frisbee, beach volleyball, a paddle boat water slide, or just lounging in the shade. The rapids are exciting yet family friendly, and the warm crystal clear water is perfect for swimming. Jump off the raft and float through a calm section or try your hand at an inflatable kayak. Double kayaks allow younger kids to ride with a parent through calmer water. The Canyon narrows in places forming the “Salmon River Canyons” where most of the rapids are held. After the canyons it opens into wide angle views of massive columnar basalt formation and grassy hillsides. Each day we take time to explore a Native American home site, or a 19th century Chinese mining camp.
