The Middle Fork is a heavily whitewatered 104-mile-long (167 km) tributary of the Salmon River, the main tributary of the Snake River, which in turn is the main tributary to the Columbia River. The nearest town is Stanley, Idaho. The Middle Fork's elevation starts at 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level and drops down to 3,015 feet (919 m)at its mouth. The 47 mile long Bear Valley Creek and Marsh Creek converge to form the Middle Fork. The Middle Fork has around a hundred tributaries; some of the larger are Rapid River, Loon Creek and Camas Creek, all from 20 to 25 miles (32 to 40 km) long. The Middle Fork flows through 2,500 square miles (6,500 km2) of rugged terrain known as the Salmon River Mountains, peaks of which reach 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
