Contact Us About this Site
Description: This 13,700-acre wilderness protects part of the wild and scenic Elk River, as well as low-elevation old-growth forest. The Elk River is home for one of the healthiest salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat populations in the U.S. The wilderness also protects habitat for endangered marbled murrelets, spotted owls, and other species such as elk, mountain lions, and black bears.
A single trail crosses the narrowest part of the wilderness, around Barklow Mountain. Developed campgrounds on the wilderness border include Butler Bar and Laird Lake.
Location: The Copper Salmon Wilderness can be accessed from trailheads on Forest Road 5201 and FR 3353, the two roads that border the area on the west and east, respectively.
