Discovery Hill has become one of Salmon’s destinations for getting outdoors to
hike, mountain bike, horseback ride, dirt bike, play disc golf and even
explore a 1.6-mile Podcast Trail. The Discovery Hill non-motorized trail
system, located just one mile from downtown Salmon, offers a conveniently
located network for visitors. This area’s exceptional riding opportunities
provide riders with smooth riding opportunities through rolling sage hills set
against the equally stunning backdrops of the Continental Divide and Salmon
River valley. The trails are generally smooth and fast and not too technically
challenging, which results in great opportunities for riders of all skill and
ability levels. The nearby Sacajawea Motorsports Park operated by Lemhi County
offers excellent opportunities for motorized recreation. Visitors to the area
can also walk portions of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and
experience a landscape largely unchanged since the Corps of Discovery passed
through the area in 1805. Although this trail system is a popular destination
for year-round riding, it is often snow-covered in the winter, and users are
asked not to ride during the wet and muddy conditions of spring thaw to
protect the trails.

trout. Rafters enjoy scenic floating and fishing along the calmer stretches of
the river near the town of Salmon, or tackling challenging whitewater (Class

Scenic Trail and see the same expansive view that greeted the Corps of
Discovery. As its name would suggest, Salmon is actively engaged in fish
issues. Fish biologists work hard with local partners to create suitable
habitat and remove fish passage barriers along several integral stream
networks in the Lemhi valley drainage. Discovery Hill area, located right
outside the town, is an up and coming recreation site offering a podcast tour,
