Forks of Salmon River Access

Salmon, South Fork - 4. Methodist Creek to Forks of Salmon (CA)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 2,500.0 – 6,000.0 CFS
Description

The take-out is on the mainstream Salmon River, about 1/3 mile downstream from the confluence of the two forks. From the river, look for the large sand beach on river right just before the current picks up into Horn Rapid (II). In essence, this beach is directly below the Forks of Salmon Elementary School, although the school cannot be seen from the river.  

To find the take-out by vehicle, follow the dirt road downhill from the 17-mile marker on Salmon River Road, next to the school field and directly across from the white Community Club building. Keep heading in the upriver direction to reach the beach take-out; the road ends here. Park on the side of the road, not on the beach.
