Abstract:

These data describe river corridor use in the summer of 2020 in the Salmon River corridor (Idaho) along the Wild and Scenic River’s recreation-classified segment from North Fork to Corn Creek. These data include counts of river users (boats and people), collected using nine river-side trail cameras, that floated along the river between North Fork and Corn Creek. Specific measurements include the date, time of day, type of craft, and number of people that floated by specific areas throughout the river corridor. Hourly vehicle counts (i.e., counting axles using a road counter) at three high traffic areas in the river corridor are also provided. Detailed maps of these vehicle monitoring locations as well as each river monitoring location are included.
