About this campground

Come see the spectacular 150' long wooden suspension pack bridge crossing Kelly Fork Creek just upstream from its junction with the North Fork Clearwater River.  The bridge provides crossing for hikers as well as pack trains, horseback riders, and motorcyclists. The trailhead boasts two trails; Junction Creek Trail #106 that provides good views, for hikers and stock, looking to the north toward Moose Buttes, and Junction Mountain Trail #191 and Lookout Trail #691 for views of Black Canyon of the North Fork of the Clearwater River.
