Salmon River Idaho, Salmon River Mountains & The River Of No Return

NATIONAL WILD & SCENIC RIVERS SYSTEM - In 1968, Congress created the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System.
The Middle Fork of the Salmon River was one of the eight original rivers included in the system. That number has since grown to more than 130 rivers. The section of the Salmon
River that forms the southern boundary of the subdivision
has been classified as a “Recreational River” under the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System by Congress. It is
very unusual for property to be available within the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System. This property represents
a rare opportunity!

Driving down the paved Salmon River Road to the house/property is a
unique experience! You never know what you'll see next. You are either looking
up at breathtaking views of the rugged Salmon River Mountains with fascinating
rock formations or looking down at the Salmon River to see if you can spot river
otters playing in the water. Or a herd of big horn sheep could be around the
next curve causing a traffic jam.

The property is part of the River of No Return Ranch Subdivision, which
contains 31 lots ranging in size from two to seven acres. A third of the lots that
make up the 143 total acres currently have houses on them. The subdivision
is surrounded by United States Forest Service (government) land and the

southern boundary is formed by the Salmon River, Idaho’s famed “River of No
Return.” In fact, much of the subdivision acreage is located within the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System. Also you
may find remnants of mining activities and homesteading that are still evident in the area.

Summertime can find you viewing rafters enjoying the quieter river sections or blasting through whitewater. There are numerous riverfront places to camp year round. Fall can find anglers boating the river for steelhead or trying their luck bank fishing for this elusive trout. Hunters are scouring the colorful hillsides looking for game. Wintertime is a peacefully serene
time with a nice layer of untracked snow covering the countryside to the banks of the frozen-over river. Springtime finds the canyon turning green with lots of wildlife grazing on fresh grasses before they make their way up the mountains to their summer range. And a lush variety of flowering shrubs and colorful wildflowers are blooming on the south facing
mountainsides. This is truly a spectacular place to live!!!
