Description
Loon Creek is a multi-day adventure run that includes paddling around 50 miles of the Middle Fork Salmon, or people often hike up from the Middle Fork to run the bottom canyon. Best done when the Middle Fork is at a medium flow. Great little video by Eric Clancy: https://vimeo.com/222578493 In Love With Frank from Seth Dahl on Vimeo.
