About the little salmon river
The Little Salmon River is a tributary of the Salmon River, which is located in Idaho, USA. The river stretches for about 84 miles, with its source in the mountains of the Bitterroot Range, flowing through the Salmon-Challis National Forest. The river is known for its abundance of fish, including Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead that spawn in its clear waters. The Little Salmon River is of significant agricultural importance, where it provides irrigation water for the surrounding farms, supporting the growth of crops like potatoes, wheat, and corn. The river is also home to several dams and reservoirs such as the Riggins Dam and The Salmon River Diversion Dam that provide hydroelectric power to the surrounding communities. The river also offers a range of recreational activities such as kayaking, fishing, and camping for enthusiasts.
