Sunbeam Dam Access

Sunbeam Dam Access provides a Class IV rapid and boat launch point on the Salmon River near Stanley, Idaho.

Most boaters launch below the dangerous Sunbeam Dam rapid to access the Piece of Cake (III) and Narrows (III) rapids downstream, with takeout available at Torrey's Hole boat ramp approximately 8 miles downstream.

The area features a rest area, small store, and restaurant nearby, making it a popular starting point for whitewater floats on this section of river.
