Idaho Afloat News & Events

Our company is over 22 years old (which in the river rafting industry makes us a pioneer) and we have new ownership as of the fall of 2007.  This makes us old and new in a delightful way for the 2008 season.

Help us write our collective history by sending in your news, comments, and experiences on the river with us!
