Main Salmon Downloadable Map

The Main Salmon River run from Corn Creek to Carey Creek covers approximately 79 miles through the Salmon River Canyon in central Idaho, one of the deepest river gorges in North America. The canyon passes through a mix of wilderness and ranch land, with evidence of the region's mining and homesteading history visible at several points along the route. The run typically takes four to six days to complete. Like the Middle Fork, private launches during peak season require a permit obtained through a lottery system, and the remote nature of the put-in at Corn Creek makes shuttle logistics a significant part of trip planning.
