River Dance Lodge

River Dance Lodge sits on Highway 12 near Kooskia in central Idaho's rugged fly-fishing country, with guided access to three major river systems—the Clearwater, Selway, and Lochsa—all within or adjacent to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The operation runs wade and float trips targeting winter and spring steelhead runs plus resident trout on lightly pressured water. Accommodations include eight log cabins and three glamping tents with basic amenities (convenience kitchens, grills, hot tubs, gas fireplaces, private decks); the lodge provides daily maid service and pairs guests with experienced guides. Full-day guided trips include lunch and instruction for both fly-fishing and kayaking. Open May through September, the lodge caters to groups and individuals seeking genuine backcountry fly-fishing without resort polish. The Highway 12 location is accessible by car from Spokane or Missoula airports, though reaching the best beats requires a willingness to embrace remote wilderness conditions and limited cell phone coverage.
