Stanley River Rafting

The hundreds of rivers and thousands of rapids have earned Idaho the nickname “The Whitewater State”. Every state needs a magnet, and Stanley fits the bill perfectly. Location, location, location. Stanley sits at the headwaters of Idaho’s famous Salmon River of No Return and is the ‘last stop’ before embarking on the 100 pristine miles of the Middle Fork of the Salmon. These two world-renowned rivers bring thousands of rafters to Stanley each summer.
