Wow! We had the best time on our trip! Our guides were wonderful. They all had so much knowledge to share about river, the geology of the area and the history of the indigenous groups as well as the miners and ranchers who have called the Middle Fork home. They were so helpful with every aspect of the trip. It was truly amazing getting to spend a week in such a beautiful place with such an awesome company!

Guides were frankly more than I could have imagined. Very competent, good on the water and in their makeshift kitchen, and fun to be with. And, very crucial to my ability to enjoy the trip and activities given my leg and balance problems!Rob

This was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever done. Something I would never be able to do alone made it worth every penny. Everything was well organized and smooth and the guides were very confident and knowledgeable. It was fun getting to know the other guests and the guides: Trevor, Maggie, Will, Murphy, Taylor, Calvin, Dylan, and Chip. We had lots of fun activities but also stayed on “river time” keeping it relaxing and flexible. We learned about history and saw some pretty special places. The food was super tasty and filling. We had plenty of snacks and water too. Tents and sleeping setup was comfortable (I brought an inflatable camp pillow as well for extra support). The dry bags have plenty of room for all your stuff and you get them the night before you leave to pack. While there are more luxury options this is the perfect mix of wild and rugged and comfort that brings you closer to the land. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

Just spent 6 days on the Middle Fork of the Salmon with this awesome company - they did a fantastic job. The guides were simply some of the finest guides I have been around, extremely competent in all aspects of guiding and a helluva lotta fun. Great logistics, food, and we had lots of opportunities to hike, swim, and lots of other activities. Can't recommend this trip or this company enough.

I had the best time on the Middle Fork with MFA! The guides were friendly, fun, and professional. The food was SO GOOD (and food is very important to me). I was a solo traveler, and I felt so taken care of the whole trip. If you’re considering a rafting trip on the Middle Fork, I highly recommend Middle Fork Adventures.

Very hard working guides on this trip. I like to tip the guides handsomely on all the river trips I do, but this tip also has to reflect the "total trip enjoyment". Some company policies and lack of attention to detail and reasonable requests lowered my usual tip from $500 to $220. I hated to cut the guides out of more, but the company needs to alter some policies for ALL guests to enjoy the trip. If you would like access to YOUR cold drinks at lunch or during the day, this is not the company for you. YOU are on vacation, and should not be at the whims of the company policies. They have plenty of plain water, but YOU cannot have access to YOUR soda pop, beer, lemonade or other beverages during the day.

Highly recommend multi-day rafting trips in general, and the Middle Fork Adventures in particular. I've been in several rafting trips before, and while all teams were great, this particular one makes the extra effort to bring value and convenience others do not. It is often the little things that matter, and David, Heidi and team are doing just that. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

2024-07-22T19:31:17.997Z

This was a bucket list trip that far exceeded expectations! The people were amazing and they cooked the best food, kept us entertained, and made sure we were taken care of. This is one of the best trips of my life and I've been on many trips. We look forward to doing it again next year! Thanks Middle fork team!

I woke up by the sound of the roaring river and the competing melodies of birds above my tent and I knew this would be a great day. In a raft I floated through a vast wilderness of mountains, pine trees and bighorn sheep occasionally interrupted by exhilarating whitewater rapids. At camp, I wolfed down a delicious meal, sat around a campfire with some wonderful fellow rafters while enjoying a few brewskies. I went to bed by the sound of the roaring river. Thanks Dave, Will, Meggy, Fenchy, Trevor, Charlie, Ryan for a great day!

2024-06-27T13:51:43.730Z

Great professional crew. Everything from the food to the gear was top notch. Trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend using Middle Fork Adventures as your outfitter.

Just got back from a June 12-18 trip with Middle Fork Adventures. We went on the high water season. Non stop beauty for 100 miles on the river. The staff was great. The food was amazing. Thank you guides David, Ethan, Maggie, Daniel, Trevor, Josh & Ryan. You did a great job keeping us safe, well fed & having a great time! I highly recommend using Middle Fork Adventures.

Where do I begin! Wow. Just wow. This is a trip of a lifetime. If you can do it, I say DO IT!!! I was fortunate enough to go with colleagues. Our company sent us on this amazing trip. There is no bonding experience like it. You will challenge yourself if you are up for it. You will eat incredibly well - healthy, delicious food btw. And you will see some of the most gorgeous, rugged scenery on the planet. The guides are spectacular. They know their stuff. They make you feel comfortable and safe yet support you in pushing past your comfort zone if/when you want to. Their humor and warmth is infectious. This trip is a must in one's lifetime, as far as I'm concerned. Much love to you MFA. Jennifer

I’m uncertain if words can really describe the experience provided by MFA. The whole crew worked diligently to ensure you’re making the most out of the trip, regardless of whether you’d want to (in those cold and vulnerable moments) walk around the ‘corner’ to see a ‘thing’Every ‘Thing’ that I recollect on was amazing. Each guide is a huge talent, a bunch of unique personalities with the most amazing attitude’s, to life and to this adventure. Say YES to everything, they’ll worry about the rest!

2023-06-29T13:55:48.555Z

MFA pulled out all the stops and whistles for this experience! Not only were the guides professional and focused on the safety of all of us guests, they were friendly, funny, respectful, and knowledgeable about everything this river trip had to offer. If you want an unforgettable experience, this is the outfit you must go with!!

2023-06-10T22:11:25.124Z

A+ in safety, food and service. Highly recommend Middle Fork Adventures.

2022-08-19T19:06:48.873Z

Middle Fork Advantures are an amazing bunch of guides. So willing to accommodate each of us and enjoy some good humor as well.

2022-08-04T22:03:18.611Z

I can't say enough good things about MFA. The river is amazing (no surprise there). All of the MFA guides were fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, capable, and clearly having a great time on the river, along with all of us there on holiday. The gear provided was solid (notably the tents kept us nice and dry during quite the rainstorm). The food was delicious. I can't eat gluten and there were more than enough options for me and I didn't have a single issue the whole week. My trip was in June and the hills were green and so much was in bloom, there were big horn sheep, osprey. Plus the other folks on the trip were terrific, making the week all the more fun. I couldn't have asked for more. Huge thanks to Dan, Bethany, Maggie, Zach, Ethan, Ben, Will, and Mike for helping make this an amazing trip - you guys are the best!

A. The Middle Fork of the Salmon River is atop the list of adventure vacations to take in the world, but given that you are reading this, you likely already know that.B. Choosing a guide over the internet is risky. Especially for this big of a commitment.C. Look no further than the team of amazing people at Middle Fork Adventures! They are as good as it gets. Genuinely wonderful fun loving folks that led an amazing week long adventure for our family and many others.D. I know gear well, and their choices were top notch. From big brand-new MSR tents and sturdy comfy cots, to top-notch rafts fully outfitted in comfort....They had us dialed in.F. The menu that Allie created and the entire team prepared all week was delicious. Each meal was memorable.You will not regret choosing Dan, Allie and the entire crew at MFA! Enjoy! I'm already jealous.

Above and beyond expectations for camping + adventure. Fun crew.

Amazing guides!

2021-08-16T15:08:33.299Z

This was the best family trip we've ever taken! The people at Middle Fork Adventures are true professionals, while making every day a fun adventure. Great food, great fun, great beauty, great people.

2021-08-16T01:53:18.532Z

We had the most amazing six day river rafting trip down the Salmon River with Middle Fork Adventure group. Every single member of the team was not only talented, knowledgeable, courageous but over the top the most fun people to be with. Not only was the food over the top but the organization was unbelievable. They have heart and care about the river, their team and every person they float with.This was an adventure I will never forget and will plan to do again!!Thank you!!Jeri and Joe Gonzales

We’ve been off of the river for a week now and I still haven’t come up with all of the words to describe our experience with Middle Fork Adventures. For those readers who are simply interested in the conditions, they are exceptional. The rapids were so much fun, the water was crystal clear, the mountains and rocks are beautiful, the night sky is stunning, the accommodations were very comfortable and the food was amazing - and so creative! But with regards to the overall, I’m one of those people who is all about the “life experience” and this one far exceeded any expectations that I had for my family and friends. The breathtaking scenery itself can only be credited to Mother Nature, but the adventure was perfectly crafted by the staff of MFA. I’m absolutely certain that not one of our crew of six considers this a job, but rather their chosen lifestyle and passion. In addition to the expertise and commitment to safety on the river, the stories and stops along the way (hikes, waterfalls, petroglyphs, hot springs, homesteads and other historical and natural points of interest) made it unforgettable and even educational! It was obvious that the staff wanted all guests (I use that term loosely, as we all felt like family by the end) to carry the experience with us for years to come. Pat, Bethany, Ethan, Zack, Brooke and Dr. Seb, many, many thanks to you and all the rest of the MFA staff working tirelessly back at home base to provide an experience that we’ll never forget and cannot wait to repeat as soon as possible!!

I had such a wonderful time on the middle fork of the salmon river with these guys! One of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend them!

2021-06-29T16:09:17.790Z

Great crew and an awesome trip. Would highly recommend staying at the log cabin on at MFA headquarters after the trip!

2021-06-19T16:00:21.863Z

Just got back from the 6 day Middle Fork rafting trip, and it was amazing! Dan and Allie and the rest of the crew ran an exceptionally well organized trip down the river, with plenty of variety in activities (rafting, kayaking, fly fishing, hiking, hot springs, waterfalls), and amazing food every time in between. 5 stars, would raft again😎

2021-06-13T20:14:31.734Z

I willNever forget the time I spent on the middle fork. Such a beautiful place that I got to experience with such a fun group of people! Everything about this trip was amazing.
