Old Salmon River Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
$5/vehicle/day May 1 through October 31.
The Old Salmon River Trailhead is the first pullout beyond the Forest boundary. This trail is very kid-friendly. Only 1.9 miles long, it parallels the wild and scenic Salmon River. Although this trail is near the road, the constant sound of the river, as well as the old growth features of the forest, make this one of the most outstanding hikes on the Zigzag District.
Vault toilets available and maintained May 1 - October 31.

There are several established dispersed campsites along the way making this trail an excellent choice for backpacking.
