About the salmon river
The Salmon River is a 425-mile-long river in western Idaho that is known for its world-class rapids and salmon fishing. The river's history dates back to the Native American tribes that used the river for fishing and transportation. The river's hydrology is influenced by its headwaters in the Sawtooth Mountains, which provide a consistent flow of cold, clear water. The river is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Lower Salmon Falls Dam and the Little Salmon River Dam, which provide hydroelectric power and irrigation for agricultural purposes. The Salmon River is also popular for recreational activities, including rafting, fishing, and camping. The river's diverse landscape and rich history make it a unique destination for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
