Salmon, the seat of Lemhi County, calls itself the "Whitewater Capital of the World." Salmon is the region's major gateway to mountains, mountain lakes and streams, rivers and national forests. There are many guides and outfitters with various specialties including hunting, fishing, rafting and horse-packing who can take visitors into the back country.

As the name suggests, the town of Salmon lies in a prime wild-river fishing region. Dubbed the "River of No Return" by Lewis & Clark, the Salmon River is one of the few un-dammed rivers left in North America. From June to September, Chinook salmon spawn in the gravel beds of the river in large numbers. As well as salmon, the rivers have good stocks of rainbow trout and steelhead.
Winter visitors enjoy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, with forest trails all around Salmon. Nearby city Challis boasts Idaho's largest collection of log homes. Challis is the Custer County seat and is the headquarters of the Land of the Yankee Fork Idaho State Centennial Park.
