This is the roadside run that those traveling in to the Main Salmon put-in or out from the Middle Fork Salmon take-out see on their drive. There are a number of access points that provide options for a day trip or for those wishing to extend their Main Salmon trip and reduce the long drive down the washboard road to its end at Corn Creek.
For those interested in a day trip, the 10 mile class III run from Spring Creek to Cove Creek is a popular option.
