 Wild and Scenic Rivers of the National Landscape Conservation System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 enables Congress or the Secretary of the Interior to designate a river, or a section of a river, as "wild, scenic, or recreational." The goal is to protect the river in its free-flowing condition, along with its scenic, recreational, geologic, wildlife, historic, and cultural values.
Part of the river contains a unique population of rainbow trout that are able to survive in unusually high temperatures; numerous endangered species also depend on the Klamath River for their survival, including bald and gold eagles, peregrine falcons, western pond- turtles, and Townsend’s big-eared bats.
This river is one of only a few designated for its entire length as "wild and scenic." The Salmon River begins in the snowfields of Mt. Hood and ends in the Sandy River, cascading in numerous waterfalls in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness before reaching its lower forested canyons.
