Save this feature with the run it belongs to.
Sunbeam Dam on the Salmon River was bought by the state of Idaho early the 20th century. The adjacent bank was blasted out in the mid-1930's to provide fish passage for salmon and steelhead. Now, nearly a century later, the state lacks the initiative to protect these amazing fish runs by advocating dam removal and fish passage. Sunbeam dam also creates a fun rapid! You can view the dam at the interpretive site at a pull out at Highway 75 mile 202.4.
