Salmon River Road Access

Salmon River Road is a 45-mile corridor managed by the Salmon-Challis National Forest that provides vehicle access to over 10,000 annual river users, with the road paved for the first 18 miles and transitioning to well-maintained gravel beyond the ghost town of Shoup.

The corridor features multiple developed recreation sites including Corn Creek Campground and Boat Ramp at the road's end, along with various pullouts and access points for fishing and boating throughout the scenic drive along the river.
