Since 1986 Middle Fork River Tours has been providing quality river vacations on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Clint and Molly Frank of Sandpoint, Idaho own and operate the company and take great pride in offering exceptional whitewater rafting and fishing trips for families, friends, and corporations. “We have remained a small family owned company so we can take an active role and be personally involved with all aspects of our guests river experience.” Clint leads most every trip and has a genuine enthusiasm for life and the river. Molly’s love of the outdoors and zest for good food has led her to create a river menu that is as diverse and exciting as the river we run.
Meet Clint & Molly Frank
Meet the Frank's
Molly and Clint met over 30 years ago on the Lochsa River in Central Idaho while both attending The University of Montana. Clint, knowing he wanted a career in the outdoors, received a Forestry degree in Recreation Resource Management. Molly, with a love for creativity and children, earned a degree in Elementary Education.
Life has been full running Middle Fork River Tours, raising two amazing children, Piper and Max, while also working careers they were passionate about. Clint recently retired from a 24-year stint as a Professional Firefighter in Sandpoint but still works part time as a Ski Patrolman at Schweitzer Mountain Resort. Molly has closed the chapter on teaching but continues to manage Middle Fork River Tours. With Piper and Max in college, one career in the past, Clint and Molly have found a little more freedom to travel and enjoy their favorite places in Sandpoint and Salmon. “It’s been an amazing ride and not one we plan to finish anytime soon!”
With Molly’s amazing meal planning and exceptional organization and Clint’s thirty years plus of guiding Idaho’s whitewater you are guaranteed to have an amazing experience with them on the Middle Fork. “We are beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to share the beauty of the Middle Fork with you and your family and friends! Life is going fast, these trips on the river are the best memories you can make.”
