Temporary weight restrictions have been posted on the South Fork Salmon River Road beginning on the Boise National Forest at the Junction of Warm Lake Highway #22 and continuing for approximately 30.7 miles, traveling into the Payette National Forest, to the road’s junction with East Fork Road (#412). These “Spring Break-up” restrictions are necessary to prevent damage to the road surface during spring thaw conditions when temperatures can vary greatly.
This temporary weight restriction prohibits use of the road by all motorized vehicles with a weight of more than 10,000 lbs. on the steering axle and tire width less than 9 inches, and a weight of more than 300 lbs. per inch of tire on all other axles.
This special order and map identifies the roads, trails and areas that have travel restrictions regarding where motorized over snow vehicles may be used.
The PNF is issuing a one year motorized over snow vehicle special order that will close a portion of Granite Mtn. to over snow motorized vehicle use from January 15-March 31, 2012. This special order includes opening portions of Hitt Mountain and Squaw point to over snow motor vehicle use.
