Recreation Guide To The North Fork Ranger District And The Salmon National Forest PDF Download

This illustrated guide will help you navigate the river and learn about nature. Please note where the north arrow points on each map. Land ownership patterns are mixed (public and private lands) and rarely signed, so careful map reading ensures your activities will not impinge upon private property rights. Public and private campgrounds are prevalent along this stretch and accessible from the river as well as the highway. Please be aware that the Upper Salmon River, while not known for its classified rapids, still requires adequate equipment and skills to navigate safely. The Upper Salmon River provides a variety of boating opportunities. Between Stanley and Clayton the river bounces through several classified rapids and is a favorite stretch for white water enthusiasts. The upper section is also unique in its combination of easy access and back country scenic quality. You can enjoy bird watching and other wildlife spotting, boating, rafting, fishing, camping, and more. The guide is well equipped with many interesting and helpful colored maps, along with a map legend..
