Challis Bridge To Deer Gulch
From Challis bridge the land flattens out some for the next few miles and the river diverges into several channels. This makes for some good exploring and fishing through this small valley. The river through this section also contains a large amount of private land. Be respectful and only access the river at appropriate access points.
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Salmon River are between a bare minimum of 800cfs and a high of 7,000cfs.
