Description
Beginning at the small hamlet of Forks of Salmon, the first four miles of the Cal Salmon is characterized by gentle green waters interrupted by several beginner level class II+ pool drop rapids.
This stretch of river allows visitors to enjoy the scenery of the area and warm up to the challenges downstream. A perfect day stretch for beginners and intermediates alike, it is the training ground for world class kayaking schools readying their students for more advanced whitewater thrills.
