Raft River

The Raft River is a river that flows from Utah to Idaho. It begins in the Raft River Mountains in northern Utah, and flows north to join the Snake River in Cassia County, Idaho.

The river is named after a crossing of the Oregon Trail where pioneers built rafts out of whatever was available to aid in crossing the river. The river is presently dry for much of the year.
