Join Winding Waters and the Wet Planet Kayaking instructors for a multi-day kayaking journey down the Lower Salmon River. This incredible stretch of river is a great place for beginner and intermediate kayakers to develop both river running and play-boating skills. Over the course of 5 days and 53 miles, the Wet Planet instructors will constantly be at hand to both support you in the whitewater and to help you improve your skills. This amazing 5 day kayaking course is raft supported, so you won't have to worry about carrying your food or equipment as we move from camp to camp.
We invite you to join us for a 5 day kayaking adventure on the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states.
For many of our guests, the time spent at camp is as enjoyable as the time spent floating on the river. After an exciting day on the river, your instructors and guides will cook you a healthy and delicious meal while you relax at the river?s edge on warm sand beaches. In the evening, campfires (weather permitting), songs, and stories will carry you to a fulfilling night's sleep.
Itinerary:
Day 1:The Wet Planet team will travel from our base in Husum, Washington to the put-in. You are welcome to join us in Husum, Washington or meet us in Lewiston, Idaho. We'll meet the Winding Waters team and camp at Pine Bar. At camp, we'll warm up for the rapids downstream by practicing in the pool and eddy lines, as well as running Pine Bar Rapid.
Day 2: this is the first day of our river journey. The river starts off with easy rapids and a big water feel. You'll get a chance to find your rhythm while working with your instructors in the flat water and class II rapids. Depending on water levels, we may camp near Cliff Rapids to take advantage of a fun play wave.
Day 3:this day brings bigger rapids and more fun play spots. You'll find rapids such as Pipe Line, Lorna's Lulu, and the Bungholes as your move toward Snow Hole Canyon. Located in this beautiful canyon is Snow Hole Rapid, where the rivers charges through powerful class III+ and IV waves and holes. Challenge your skills here or walk around the rapid before finishing the day at a beautiful large beach camp site.
Day 4:After exiting Snow Hole Canyon, you'll enjoy a mellower float on your way to Blue Hole Canyon. This canyon is home to more great rapids, and you'll love flying right down the middle of rapids like Sluice Box and Eye of the Needle. The exit to this exciting canyon leads to the confluence with the Snake River. You'll camp at the confluence, in the same area where Native Americans previously traveled for vision quests.
Day 5:with quite a bit of flat water between the confluence and camp, you'll hop in the rafts and enjoy an easy ride through this beautiful, remote stretch of river. At the confluence, you'll pick up your vehicles or head back to Washington with the Wet Planet instructors.
