This outing starts at Highway 21 near Roadside Park and Camp Creek Campground. This water stretch has enough mileage for a whole afternoon trip. After passing by Lola Campground and Marsh Creek Transfer Camp, the waterway leads into the amazing Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. You are bound to enjoy the beautiful scenery as the route winds through the Salmon River Mountains and the Sawtooth Range. Users must be aware that the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has installed a fish trap in Marsh Creek about 1.5 miles downstream from Highway 21. Please use caution as there is an anchor cable across the creek about 10 feet above the water. Also, expect a lot whitewater, large boulders, rocks, and possible strainers. If an area looks to be too wild and dangerous, portaging is always a good option. The route ends at an intersection with Dagger Creek near Dagger Campsite. A wilderness permit can be obtained from a Forest Service Facility or a registration box.
