Twin Bridges Access ~ Salmon River

The Twin Bridges Access is one of many official boat launches along the Salmon River in central Idaho. These BLM recreation sites usually feature a river rafting beach landing, dispersed camping on the river banks and basic facilities that are a nice convenience for both anglers and aquatic sports participants. The roads tend to follow the rivers in mountainous regions out west and Highway 95 actually runs right next door, which is perfect for boat trailer haulers and excursion companies. Along with the ease of access is a new and improved boat launch with adequate parking, so this Salmon River destination definitely favors bass boat haulers and seasonal waterfowl hunters. 

The reason why it is good to feature western river access spots has nothing to do with the high end fly fishermen that the Idaho tourism trade tends to target. These cozy riverside recreation areas are favorite weekend fishing spots of the locals and they are good picnic sites for family fun in the sun. The riverside access areas are also a top choice for those who are doing a camping tour on a tight budget and catching some trout is a good way to alleviate dining expenses. When traveling on Highway 95 between Riggins and Grangerville, be sure to keep the Twin Bridges Access in mind, because this is where traditional weekend activities abound on the mighty Salmon River!
