Anywhere from Carmen to deadwater isn't too bad. Below there isn't bad either as long as you don't go any further than 4th of july (I think that's the take out I'm thinking of). Past there you get into some rapids that I personally don't want to float any time. Rapids do get into the upper class II range after North Fork area, a ways down stream but most of it is easy. Also there was only one hole that gave us issues last year above Carmen, about 1/4-1/2 mile below the Lemhi hole. Had a big enough hydraulic it didn't want to let the boat through initially and tried to take the oar. Probably more user error than anything though. Above Salmon was very smooth to the campground about 6 miles out of town. Didn't catch much though. Good luck if you take the boat and have fun!
