- Idaho’s Wildest Weekend on the Salmon River
- Saturday June 6, 2026
- Riggins, ID
Every year, the river turns up the volume… and you’re invited.
The Big Water Blowout River Festival (BWB) is Mountain River Outfitters’ most electric event of the season. Timed with peak flows on the Salmon River, this annual gathering is all about big water, big energy, and unforgettable time on the river with an incredible crew.
When the snowmelt surges and the rapids come alive, there’s no better time to experience Idaho whitewater at its boldest.
What Makes BWB Different
This isn’t your typical rafting trip. BWB is part adventure, part celebration, and all about embracing the river at its peak.
Expect:
- Fast-moving, splash-heavy whitewater
- A high-energy group atmosphere
- Shared camps with great food and even better company
- Guides who know how to match the moment with fun and safety
- That feeling you only get when everything clicks on the river
It’s the kind of weekend where strangers become river friends before the first rapid is even over.
The River at Its Peak
The Salmon River during BWB is a different beast in the best way. Higher water means bigger waves, faster lines, and a ride that keeps your heart in it from start to finish.
If you’ve been waiting for a trip that feels a little more alive, this is it.
Who It’s For
BWB is perfect for:
- Returning guests ready for a bigger ride
- Groups looking for a shared, high-energy trip
- Anyone who wants to experience the Salmon River at its most dynamic
If you like your rafting with a little extra punch, you’ll fit right in.
