• Salmon National Wild & Scenic River

  The Salmon River was designated a Scenic River and Recreational River within the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System in 1981. The South Fork of the Salmon was designated a Scenic and Recreational River, and the North Fork of the Salmon was designated a Wild and Recreational River, also in 1981.

  The watersheds of two great wilderness areas combine to form the Salmon River. The North Fork of the Salmon River begins high up in the Marble Mountains Wilderness, and the South Fork of the Salmon finds its origins in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. The two forks join forces at a place aptly called Forks of Salmon. Twenty miles further west, the Salmon River empties into the Klamath and continues on to the Pacific Ocean. This area is rich with the culture of native people and the history of gold seekers and pioneers.
