KingFisher River Company keeps a rare piece of Idaho history alive through sweepboating on the Salmon River. Originating in the prospector era, these massive wooden flatboats—known as scows—were once the workhorses of the canyon, using oversized "sweeps" to navigate heavy loads of mining gear and livestock through the steep terrain.

Today, KingFisher transforms this rugged heritage into a high-end adventure. A sweep boat offers a spacious, luxurious alternative to traditional rafting, allowing you to experience the thrill of the river with a level of comfort and historical charm you won't find anywhere else.

Indulge in a premier open-air dining experience where the scenery is as refined as the menu. Whether you are chartering a romantic four-course dinner for two or hosting a private riverside party, we bring white-linen service to the rugged beauty of the Salmon River. Each gourmet meal is prepared fresh on-site, featuring a revolving seasonal menu. With customizable launch times and locations, every evening is a unique opportunity to gather with friends—old or new—on the riverbank.

General float time is 5pm - 9pm. Upon request we can do a late night float, inquire for more options.
