Brannons Bar River Access

Salmon - Butler Creek to Brannons Bar (CA)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 1,200.0 – 4,500.0 CFS
Description

The Brannons Bar River Access is off Salmon River Road, about 3.75 miles upriver of Highway 96 at Somes Bar. The dirt road down to the loading/unloading zone at the river access is signed. This area is posted No Parking, so after loading or unloading, drive back up the dirt road and diagonally across Salmon River Road to the large parking area by the restroom.

Please be aware that this river access is also used by local residents, including tribal members and elders. Please be respectful and prepared to share the area with others.

Also, when leaving the loading/unloading area to head upriver, DO NOT try to make the hard right turn on to Salmon River Road. The turn is too tight and you will have to drive into the land for oncoming traffic to make the turn. There is a blind curve here and downrive vehicles tend to go fast. Instead, turn left and head diagnally across the road to the large parking area/turnaround and then pull out on to Salmon River Road to head upriver. For real!
