About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater access point located on the Salmon River's Yankee Fork in Custer County, Idaho. This site serves as a launching point for whitewater paddlers looking to run the Yankee Fork section of the Salmon River. The coordinates place it in the central Idaho backcountry, a region known for its excellent whitewater opportunities and scenic mountain surroundings.

As a whitewater put-in, this access point is primarily designed for kayakers and canoeists with experience handling moving water. The Yankee Fork section of the Salmon River offers varying difficulty depending on water levels and season, so paddlers should be prepared for current and potential whitewater conditions. Access to this remote location requires planning, as it is situated in a less developed area of Custer County.
