Lucile Recreation Site

Situated along the scenic Lower Salmon River in Idaho, the Lucile Recreation Site serves as a primary hub for river adventurers. This BLM-managed facility is uniquely positioned as a frequent take-out spot for rafters, kayakers, and power boaters traveling from Riggins, as well as a convenient launch site for those beginning their journey downstream. The site offers a rugged, riverside setting characteristic of the Rocky Mountains, providing easy water access for those navigating the river’s currents.

Facilities at this day-use location include a functional boat ramp, restrooms, and drinking water, with portions of the site designed to be ADA accessible. While the site is open year-round for river access, it is important to note that overnight camping is not permitted at this specific location. Visitors looking for a place to stay are encouraged to explore nearby BLM recreation sites such as Island Bar, Old Lucile, or Hammer Creek.

This site is best suited for day-trippers, anglers, and boating enthusiasts who require a reliable entry or exit point on the water. It is an essential stop for anyone planning a float trip through this beautiful stretch of the Salmon River, offering the necessary infrastructure to support a safe and efficient day on the river.
