Good things to know before you arrive at the 
Salmon River or Black River rafting center...

Check-in Time is not Departure Time!
Your written confirmation includes a "Check-in time" for each of the activities you've reserved. This is the time that you and your group should be on-site, ready to begin the process of completing paperwork and dressing for the trip.  It isn't the time the rafts are scheduled to launch, nor is it the time the bus shuttle leaves for the river.  

In Your Raft - To Bring Or Not To Bring!
At the Salmon River, you can bring a light snack with you in the raft.   Ice chests and coolers are not permitted. Please do not bring your change of clothes, towels, valuables, keys, cameras (if not waterproof), or other items.  These can be easily lost or damaged if taken in the raft.

Bring The Correct Footwear! 
Please wear old sneakers.  Sandals or flip flops that leave toes or ankles exposed are to be avoided.

Strap On Your Glasses!
Eye glasses are permitted although discouraged unless needed.  Eyeglass straps are essential. Contacts are acceptable, but may at times be splashed or otherwise affected.

Water Levels Can Change Quickly!
River levels can sometimes rise or fall unexpectedly.  When we are able, we'll notify you in advance if a dramatic change has occurred.  In all cases, though, we'll select the best available river route, based on the preferences you've requested.
