This trailhead provides foot access to the South Fork Salmon River via the 13. 4-mile South Fork Salmon River East Trail #076, located on the Payette National Forest.

Access the trailhead by taking Lick Creek Road east of McCall over Lick Creek Summit and following the river downstream approximately 3 miles to where the road ends.

Be prepared for steep and rugged terrain; hikers can continue on connecting trails to reach Mackey Bar on the main Salmon River (32 miles total), with airplane shuttle available as a return option from McCall.
