About

Fish Creek Pavilion is a day-use picnic facility located in the Salmon River/Highway 95 Corridor of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. This is not a campground; overnight camping is not permitted here. The accessible pavilion can accommodate groups of up to 75 people and features eight picnic tables, two barbecue grills, electricity, and lights. Paved concrete walkways provide access to the pavilion, water spigot, bulletin board, and a circular bonfire area with benches. Two ADA-accessible vault toilets are available. Drinking water from a hand pump is available seasonally from June 15 through September 15. Visitors seeking overnight camping should use the adjacent Fish Creek Campground, which offers 10 first-come, first-served sites, or reserve the Fish Creek Group Site located about 2 miles down the road. The Fish Creek Cross Country Trail, a 7-mile multi-use loop for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, and OHV enthusiasts, begins at the adjacent campground.

Directions

From Grangeville, head south on Grangeville-Salmon Road (Forest Road 221) for approximately 7-8 miles to the Fish Creek Meadows area. Turn right onto Forest Road 4600. The entrance to Fish Creek Pavilion is located 300 feet ahead on the left.
