About Corn Creek
Situated at 2,929 feet, Corn Creek is the put-in for the Main Salmon. The name Corn Creek may have been referring to the size of gold nuggets found in the area. In 1958, the road was continued from Kitchen Creek to here in order to build the campground. (Special thanks to Ivan Nichols, author of an upcoming CCC book on this correction.)
This put-in has a large, paved ramp. Water is usually available here, but we recommend inquiring to make certain. There are pit toilets here and a campground, but no trash service. Keep in mind that you’re pretty far from any store, so if you realize you forgot something at the ramp then you’re looking at a lengthy drive back up the road before you arrive at any sort of general store. There is no cell phone service here.
In 1995, the original four wolves of the Idaho wolf reintroduction were released here.
