The Salmon River Run
This is the WWA's annual adventure up the Salmon River into the Frank Church-River
of No Return Wilderness. The event is held on the Thursday and Friday after the second weekend
in April. Camping and launching is at Spring Bar campground 14 miles east of Riggins, Idaho. Thursday is set aside as a practice day, Friday is the "official" run date. Friday
night features the Dutch Oven Dessert Extravaganza, where participants demonstrate their prowess
with a "dutch". This run is always a popular event and presents a wonderful
opportunity to experience exciting whitewater, breath-taking scenery, and not-often-seen
wildlife.
This is the longest and arguably the most technical run on WWA’s annual
schedule. Participants travel 40 miles up river and climb five Class III+ rapids and dozens
of smaller ones.
