    or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good places for that around here. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. The beautiful Salmon River Mountains scenery is an added bonus. A bit of exercise and just being out on the
river for a while will have you coming back for more. This is the only paddling stretch along Secesh River. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
