Parrot Placer Rapid is a small yet fun Class II rapid located just above Parrot Placer Camp at river mile 85. 9 on the Middle Fork Salmon River, named after Earl Parrot, a hermit who lived in the area.

The camp features a decent sandbar that varies in size and serves as a good stopping point for multi-day river trips.

The rapid is straightforward to read and run, making it accessible for paddlers of various skill levels navigating this wilderness section of the river.
