"The South Fork is an incredible river trip. I am dedicated to chasing wild rivers around the world. The South Fork continues to be one of the greatest stretches I've ever run. The combination of incredible scenery, world class whitewater and fantastic fishing all in one of the most remote settings in the lower 48, add up to making it as magical as it is." - Jon Kittell outside his home on the Salmon River in Riggins, Idaho. • For more stories from those who love the South Fork, and the entire Salmon River, visit our website. 📸: @idahoavadventures • #mer2018 #mostendangeredrivers #idahorivers #ifyouloveariver #whyiloveariver #findyourriver #savethesouthforksalmon #southforksalmonalliance #peopleofthesouthforksalmon #nonewmines #waterbeforegold #protectwhatyoulove #idahoisthebest #runidahorivers #wildidaho #exploreidaho #idahoriversunited

Late summer rivers flow beautifully and scarcely over smoothed, molded rocks. As we transition from summer to fall, our favorite rivers shift to new shapes and depths. Every season on Idaho's rivers is beautiful, unique and somewhat romantic. Well don't just take our word for it, get out there and fall in love all for yourself. . This is Selway Falls, a magical place along the Wild and Scenic, Selway River. Flow changes are seen so clearly here, amongst the crystal waters of one of Idaho's finest protected rivers. The Selway was one of the eight original rivers included with the Middle Fork of the Clearwater, back in 1968. Celebrate 50 years of Wild and Scenic with us by finding your river and protecting it forever. Be a river's voice, as not everyone can hear it as loudly. . . . 📸: @idahoavadventures #idahorivers #ifyouloveariver #whyiloveariver #findyourriver #protectidahosrivers #fallinlove #seeidaho #selwayriver #selwayfalls #fallinidaho #riveradvocacy #wildandscenicforever #wildandscenic #wildrivers #wildandscenicidaho

We always love getting on the water with Devon Barker-Hicks and her Dare to Kayak program, which teaches local kids how to kayak, as well as an appreciation for the rivers that make the sport possible.

Big Springs at the headwaters of the Henry’s Fork pumps more than 120 million gallons of water each day into the Island Park Caldera. This extremely popular float through lodgepole pine forests is a designated National Water Trail. The river also boasts legendary huge trout. • #idahorivers #riverside #kayaking #rivers #kayakingadventures #idaho #idahome #islandpark #paddling #class1 #idahoexplored #publicland
Summer is an easy time to easily express gratitude for the Boise River. Here we paddle, play, float, meditate, swim and fish, and more. This river is the lifeblood of Boise and the Treasure Valley.

Cayuse Creek is a beautiful fly-fishing stream that feeds Kelly Creek near the headwaters of the North Fork Clearwater River. This Wild and Scenic candidate flows through a gorgeous and remote class III gorge that doesn’t see much boating traffic. • 📸: Wendy Jones • #idahorivers #idaho #idahome #kayaking #rafting #paddlingidaho #wilderness #wildandscenic #exploreidaho
Perhaps one of the most revered rivers, the Middle Fork of the Salmon. This river has inspired policy and poets, brought people together, and torn them apart. . Rivers invite us to explore often unseen landscapes, and define unknown parts of ourselves. This time of year, thousands are experiencing what arguably makes Idaho the best state, our rivers. . Idaho's rivers always need a voice, for the language of the river is not known to many. But, for those of us who know how to listen, the messages are loud and clear. . Support Idaho Rivers United, your river guardians, your salmon stewards, and your fellow river fluent friends. 📸: @idahoavadventures #idahorivers #ifyouloveariver #whyiloveariver #findyourriver #idahome #exploreidaho #idahoisthebest #protectwhatyoulove #supportrivers #supportyourvalues #nonprofitsuccess #makeadifference #idahoriversunited
"Since we all live downstream, we all must take care of the headwaters.

We’re proud to have helped designate the Bruneau River as a federally protected Wild and Scenic river in 2009. Now, nine years later, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The Bruneau is easily as deserving as any river in the nation. • 📸: @westernperspective • #wildandscenic #idahome #whitewaterkayaking #idahorivers #rivers #wildandscenicriver #canyon #landscapephotography
This is Clear Creek, a tributary of the South Fork of the Payette near Lowman. The creek’s upper basin burned hot in the Pioneer Fire a few years ago and is growing back slow. The lower canyon, meanwhile, is full of timber, blooming syringa and arrowleaf balsamroot right now. • 📸: @westernperspective • #idahorivers #idaho #idahome #springtime #idahoexplored #idaholove #riverlove #whyiloveariver
