Middle Fork Salmon River - Permit

Permit

A permit is required to travel down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Getting a permit is not very easy. There are seven launches a day. The person that is seeking to go must enter lottery control season. To become a permit holder you have to be 18 years old. The permit holder must work with a group to take care of the fees. The permit cannot be given to someone else, and the permit holder must be there at all times on the river. The permit holder must make sure that the rules, which are given by the Forest Service, are followed. An example would be that they must have a fire pan and port-a-potty. The normal season goes from the May 28 and goes to the 3 September. For the pre and the post season launches are first come first serve. You may also enlist the service of a professional guide service. Those permitted and licensed to operate commercial river trips can be found at the web site below –.

Famous quotes containing the word permit:

    The first faults are theirs that commit them, the second theirs that permit them.
    18th-century English proverb.

    ... there is a particular propensity in the world for people, wherever they appear in great numbers, to permit themselves collectively everything that would be forbidden them individually.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    Surely the fates are forever kind, though Nature’s laws are more immutable than any despot’s, yet to man’s daily life they rarely seem rigid, but permit him to relax with license in summer weather. He is not harshly reminded of the things he may not do.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
