I've only been there once, at low water (we were able to put in at

easy Class IIIs maybe, but nothing challenging to a Class III boater.

You thought Dagger Falls was easy class 3!? Or maybe you're referring
only to the rapids below Boundary Creek put-in.


Hi Bill,

Yuh; that's probably what I should have remembered: Boundary Creek.
Whichever put-in is almost exactly 100 miles (including a mile or two
on the Main Salmon) upstream from the Forest Service takeout, as I
recall. A longish first day to get to where the rafts could put in,
then four and a half leisurely days to the take-out.

I tried to Google up a map to jog my memory, but I just don't have time
to wade thru all the sales bumph on most of the sites Google finds.

But my overall opinion of the trip is that it is not a place I would
ever go to again for the whitewater; though if I had the leisure to
spend time repeating the same experience it is certainly a place I
would go to over and over again for the *place*. As it is, though,
while my leisure time is so sharply constrained, I will keep going to
places new and different, and save a repeat trip to the Middle Fork
until after I retire.
