North Fork Silver Creek Wild & Scenic River

            Morning view of the North Fork Silver Creek Wild & Scenic River, Oct. 23, 2019, by Greg Shine, BLM.

Welcome to the rugged, remote canyon of the North Fork of Silver Creek. Travel to the end of the paved road to explore waterfalls plunging into deep blue-green pools. Wander along the creek or bring a picnic lunch to enjoy the sounds of nature along one of Oregon’s newest wild and scenic rivers.

There are no picnic tables or amenities in this area.  Please respect the land and others, by leaving no trace that you have been there! 

Know Before You Go:
•Use caution when exploring along the creek; there are rock outcrops, slippery rocks and cold, swift water.
•Access is along a remote forest road system that is not accessible in winter.
•Be aware of and respect mining claims in the area.
•Collect and remove any trash or waste; there is no garbage or toilet facility in the area. 
•The area at the end of the paved road is closed to shooting.

Point of Interest:
Popular day-use recreational activities include dispersed camping, hiking, swimming, and fishing. The North Fork Silver Creek contains fall chinook salmon and winter steelhead, rainbow, and cutthroat trout.  There is evidence of past wildfires in the area, including 2002’s Biscuit Fire.

Location:
Travel west from Merlin, Oregon along the Merlin-Galice Road.  Turn onto the Galice-Hellgate Back Country Byway (Galice Access Road/Bear Camp Road) and continue for approximately eight miles to the North Fork Silver Creek Road (road 35-9-1).
