Description

Boaters sometimes use the walk-in Blue Hole River Access as a put-in for the lower half of the Lower Salmon, usually to extend the Ikes Run on the Klamath River by adding this reach of the Salmon River to start the day. This is also a popular swimming spot in the late spring and summer; the roadside parking area holds about four vehicles maximum. Blue Hole is about two miles upriver from Somes Bar and Highway 96 on Salmon River Road. There is a sign for this river access.
