The Middle Fork of the Salmon River is a 104-mile-long (167 km) river in central Idaho in the northwestern United States.[1] It is a tributary to the Salmon River, and lies in the center of the 2.5-million-acre (3,900 sq mi; 10,000 km2) Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area.

The middle fork is an exceptionally popular and difficult whitewater rafting and kayaking destination.[2] Given Federal protection in 1980, the wilderness area it lies within is part of the largest roadless tract left in the lower 48 states.[3][4]
