Four-Season Fun

in the Heart of Wild Idaho

Something happens when you get way, way off the beaten path. Time gets a little slower. Your to-do lists go out the window. Out here, it’s just you and the Great Wild West, and this place is every bit as epic as the stories say. The stars are brighter, the rivers are wilder, the air is clearer, the snow is deeper. Heck, even the mountains seem higher. Before you know it, you’ll remember what it’s like to just be you, a little piece of this big earth.

You’ll get back to your true nature in no time.

Whitewater rafting on the lochsa river

The Wild & Scenic Lochsa River is navigable only during the short, high-water season, which typically runs from end of April through mid-June. We highly recommend booking your rafting trip with the experienced guides at Lewis and Clark Trail Adventures out of Lolo, Montana, Mammoth River Adventures out of Lowell, Idaho and ROW Adventures.

Jerry Johnson Hotspring

This natural hot spring is tucked into the forest just 10 miles from the lodge. It’s a local favorite in the fall and winter, making it the perfect place to end a day of snowy adventures (or worth the trip all on its own!).

Whitewater Rafting

Rafting season on the Wild & Scenic Lochsa River is short and intense. In May and June, high water creates roiling rapids that will test your adrenaline and endurance. Come experience the pure power of Mother Nature on a guided raft trip — we’re happy to connect you with pros who can introduce you to this untamed stretch of water.

Fly Fishing

Now is the time to cast your line! From just before Memorial Day to the end of November, anglers from around the country travel to fish the Wild & Scenic Lochsa River. Will you catch salmon, kokanee, steelhead, or trout? There’s only one way to find out.

Hiking

The Lewis and Clark expedition once traveled through these lands, and you can walk in their footsteps. Ask us about the best wilderness trails for the season and set out for an epic adventure.
