About Salmon National Forest

Salmon Challis National Forest covers more than 3,500 square kilometers in the western part of Washington State. The country is rugged and remote, offering adventure, solitude and breathtaking landscapes. Within the boundaries of this forest lies the largest national forest of its kind in North America with over 2.7 million hectares.

This area is home to the highly sought-after Challis National Forest salmon, one of the world's most popular fishing destinations. The forest also includes a number of other national forests, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Columbia River National Wildlife Refuge.

Campsites in the Leadore district are limited to 14 days, and the Wiesensee campsite is the only one with a fee. Facilities include a fireplace, picnic tables, water, showers, toilets, campfires and showers. Pets must be kept on a leash at all campsites, but pets must not be left outside the campsite for more than 30 minutes.
