 The last 52 miles (83 km)
the Salmon River, before its confluence with the Snake River, is
known as the lower Salmon. While perhaps not as wild or remote as
the Middle Fork or main Salmon, the lower Salmon contains exciting
whitewater and beautiful canyon scenery. The flatter stretches of
the lower Salmon are excellent for hiking, relaxing, swimming, and
fishing.
Four
canyons—Green, Cougar, Snowhole, and Blue—have the lower
Salmon's best rapids. These include the Class III-rated Snowhole,
Half and Half, China, Devil's Slide, Sluice Box, Checkerboard, and
the Needle. During July and August many families and senior citizens
enjoy the exciting whitewater and arid-canyon scenery.
Lower
Salmon rafting trips also include an additional 20 miles (32 km), or
more, of the Snake River below Hell's Canyon, along the Idaho-Oregon
border. The take-out for the lower Salmon raft trip is Heller Bar on
the Snake River in Washington.
