RIVER'S FORK LODGE - Premium Vacation Rental in Salmon

The lodge offers two new pickleball courts and a basketball court for active guests. A hot tub and a fire pit are available right by the river. The property provides Starlink Wi-Fi that supports video calls and streaming, despite no cell service in the area.

Guests can choose from lodge rooms with a balcony overlooking the river, a yurt with a dome skylight for stargazing, or a family cabin with a fully stocked kitchen. Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. The king suite and the large family cabin sleep groups of up to 30 people.

River'S Fork Lodge sits directly on the confluence of the Salmon River and the North Fork, offering immediate river access. Rawhide River Trips operates next door, providing guided rafting trips from casual floats to multi-day excursions. The lodge is 20 minutes from Salmon, Idaho, 30 minutes from the Montana border, and close to Lost Trail Ski Area in winter.

Guests can fish within 50 feet of their room, with reported catches of 12 fish before dark. The gentle river loop allows safe floating and swimming for children with life jackets. On-site amenities include kayaking, paddle boards, and ping pong, plus hiking to nearby hot springs about an hour away.

The lodge offers family rooms and a large family cabin designed for multi-generational groups. Pets are allowed, and the property provides a general store within walking distance that sells groceries and ice cream. Children enjoy the river access, pickleball courts, and the fire pit for evening campfires.
