Island Bar Boat Launch

Island Bar Boat Launch is a semi-developed put-in spot on the Lower Salmon River near Riggins, Idaho, frequently used for floating via raft, kayak, or jet boat.

The site features a boat launch area and is located near large sandy beaches with easy river access, though it is largely undeveloped with primitive facilities including vault toilets and no potable water available.

Campers and boaters should note that portable toilets and fire pans are required, and the access road transitions from pavement to rough river rock requiring careful driving.
