Volunteer campground hosts needed for Lower Salmon River

The Idaho Bureau of Land Management’s Cottonwood Field Office is in search of a volunteer campground host for its popular Hammer Creek Campground and Recreation Site.

Situated along the Lower Salmon River, Hammer Creek is located just 3 miles from Whitebird.
