The Salmon River Canyon Split Falls to Road Access river run in Idaho is a challenging 14-mile section of water that requires class III-IV+ whitewater skills. The river features several significant obstacles, including challenging rapids like Split Falls and tight, technical channels. The best time to float this section is in the late spring or early summer when the water is high, ideally around 4,000-7,000 CFS. This river run is not recommended for novice or inexperienced boaters.
