Island Bar Campsite (RL)

Island Bar Recreation Site is a primitive BLM campsite on the Lower Salmon River near Riggins, offering a popular put-in spot for rafting, kayaking, and jet boating.

The largely undeveloped site features 3-8 campsites with fire rings and picnic tables on sandy beaches and forested areas, accessible via a paved entrance followed by 300 yards of rough river rock road.

Amenities are minimal (vault toilets, no potable water)—visitors must bring portable toilets and water—but the site is free and offers excellent river access for fishing and water recreation.
