Natural Features
In the heart of north central Idaho, rugged peaks, deep canyons, dense forests and remote wilderness comprise the Nez Perce National Forest. Due in large part to dramatic elevational differences, the forest supports a wide variety of vegetation, from cedar groves to desert ecosystems.
Fish Creek Pavilion is located in the Salmon River/Highway 95 Corridor. The landscape here varies from the emerald Salmon River pouring through steep canyon walls to sapphire Moore’s Lake in the remote Gospel-Hump Wilderness.
