White Bird Gravel Pit Recreation Site
The site lies along the Lower Salmon River, surrounded by semi-arid mountain peaks. It is a frequent put-in spot for floating the Lower Salmon River from White Bird to Pine Bar or Heller Bar via raft, kayak, jet boat or power boat. The site is largely undeveloped but is easy access to the Salmon River. This site is owned by Idaho Transportation Department but managed by the BLM Cottonwood Field Office.

Permits
BOATERS - BE AWARE OF A NEW STATE LAW!
The Idaho Invasive Species Law and Boater Registration
Under the new law, any boat that is registered in Idaho or another state, and any non-motorized vessel (canoe, kayak, raft, drift boat, etc.) will be required to purchase and display IISF stickers in order to legally launch and operate in Idaho. Inflatable, non-motorized vessels must be less than 10 feet in length to be exempted from this requirement.
