Our family had the trip of a lifetime with Middle Fork River Tours! The staff was superb--each one was a skilled oarsman/woman, a superb cook, a great adventurer, and genuine and helpful to each member of our family. My husband is a paraplegic and uses a wheelchair and this crew made it work so well for him. We all had an awesome time!
The scenery was spectacular, the adventure was incredible, and the crew was top notch! I would highly recommend this trip, and especially MFRT.

Our family had an incredible six day float down the Middle Fork of the Salmon with Middle Fork River Tours (MFRT). The scenery was spectacular, the whitewater was exhilarating, and the food amazing. Our guides were skilled, helpful, and enjoyable to be around. Our six kids—ranging from 9 to 21 had a great time fishing, kayaking, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. MFRT was great to work with on accommodating some special needs with a disability. They have an experienced staff you can trust. The Middle Fork is a great adventure if you love camping and rafting.

Middle Fork Tours was good times all day long. The Middle Fork of the Salmon is pristine wilderness that heals the soul. The guides knew every inch of the river. I never felt in danger. The adventure of the rapids and camping experience was exhilarating. The food was delicious, I never knew you could have homemade cinnamon roles on a camping trip! The guides set up our tents, did all the clean-up and made the trip seem effortless. The value is great. I would go every year. Thank-you Molly, Clint, Scoop, Sena, Reese, Aaron, Ted and Lori.

Our family had the best time sharing 6 days of white water rafting, fishing, food and fun with the super-cool guides from Middle Fork River Tours. Scoop, Sena, Aaron, Ted, Reese, Helen & John went out of their way to make this an experience we will remember as a trip of a lifetime. After long days of rafting (sometimes into the wind with a boat full of people and supplies), they set up our tents and fix fabulous meals for us. All this, and they still wanted to hang out with us in the evening! We would recommend them highly!

This is my second 100 mile rafting trip with MFRT and it was just as wonderful as the last. This trip works for families ,friends, couples or singles. If you like fresh, plentiful gourmet food that you do not have to prepare(cooked in dutch ovens)you are in for a treat. The crew is informative about the river and areas and very professional. If you would like to fly fish or learn this is the place.We met such interesting people on our tour and loved all 6 days. Thank you to the Franks and the exceptional crew for making our adventure so much fun!

Had an outstanding trip with Clint Frank and the Middle Fork River Tours crew. Food was great every meal, and the fishing was tremendous. 50-fish days were the norm and the cutthroat were beautiful. This was my second trip with Middle Fork River Tours, and my friends and I are already talking about going again!

Just back from a week fishing on the Middle Fork. I must say Clint and his crew have it dialed up. The logistics that go into such a trip is amazing. The crew busts their butts to make sure you have a great time, and you can tell each have been hand selected and work very well as a team. The food, simply incredible. These guys are simply the "best" choice. Don't think just book.

I just returned from a week-long rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river with Middle Fork River Tours. What an amazing experience! The river is absolutely spectacular, with great whitewater and scenery that is endlessly breathtaking. Rafting with the extremely competent and personable guides was exciting without being frightening. We always knew that we were in good hands. Middle Fork River Tours has paddle boats for those who want to participate in the paddling, oar boats for those who want to fish or enjoy a relaxing ride, and "duckies" for those who want to paddle the river in a single inflatable kayak. We were encouraged to mix it up and try different modes of transport. After a day on the river, we arrived at camp to find our tents set up for us. Each evening, we enjoyed drinks and appetizers while the staff prepared a wonderful dinner. Lunch and breakfast were delicious also! To quote a fellow rafting buddy, there was truly "no room for improvement!" I wholeheartedly recommend Clint and Molly Frank's Middle Fork River Tours.

Wow, what a week in the amazing Frank Church Wilderness. The scenery and rafting experiences were only surpassed by the guides/staff who uber-impressed us with their river skills, work ethic, attention to guests, and (very importantly) collective-chef talents. Everything about this adventure exceeded our expectations, and we're so especially happy to have entrusted MFRT with our being there. Any apprehensions we may have had going in (eg. the groover, no internet) quickly were minimized by everything else: like the glamping, the hot springs, the walks, the wildlife, the spring water, ice for drinks through the entire trip, the bar, the hors d'oeuvres, the food, and the really interesting people we met in our group. MFRT did a nice job of making us comfortable and eager to engage throughout this amazing adventure. Highly recommend this outfitter, who was recommended to us and absolutely met the moment.

An outstanding trip of a lifetime!! Clint and Mollie (owners) and crew are remarkable people that take care of everything. The number of repeat customers and their retention of their crew speak volumes for their business. We had so much fun, met great people that were friends by the time we got off the river. Amazing food, plenty of different opportunities for entertainment, hiking, hot springs, wildlife, etc....and of course rafting! Best experience ever!!
