Sawtooth National Forest

The Salmon River Area follows Hwy 75 east along the border of the SNRA White Clouds Wilderness and the Salmon Challis National Forest. There is tremendous fishing in this area for species like steelhead and trout. There are aggressive rapids for rafting and lots of creeks flowing off of the Salmon River. There are fabulous hiking trails leading into the White Clouds Wilderness to the south and trails leading north into the Salmon Challis National Forest. There are a number of campsites along this corridor which are all first-come, first-serve which include the Salmon River campsite, Casino Creek, Riverside, Mormon Bend, Lower O'Brien, Upper O'Brien, Whiskey Flats, Holman Creek and Syder Springs picnic area. Double sites are offered at Casino Creek, Mormon Bend, Lower O'Brien, Upper O'Brien, Salmon River and Holman Creek.
