Some of the first Americans, known as the Nee-Me-Poo (Nez Perce), danced here, pounding out ancient rhythms in what is today a 2.2 million-acre forest and wilderness.
The forest's wild rivers and wilderness areas attract hikers, backpackers and horsepacking trekkers.
There are wheelchair-accessible campsites at Fish Creek Campground, seven miles south of Grangeville.
The largest elk herds in the continental United States roam here.
Commercial licensed outfitter-guides are available for hunting, fishing, rafting/boating, horse pack trips, and a variety of recreation activities into both designated wilderness and national forest areas. Please make sure guides are properly licensed by the State of Idaho and also possess valid National Forest permits before booking commercial outfitter-guide trips on national forest lands.
The Snake, Salmon and Selway rivers provide extraordinary rapids for white-water enthusiasts and are outstanding for fly fishing, camping, picnicking and scenery.
Diverse ecosystems, from cedar groves to desert terrain, support abundant wildlife populations.
The Seven Devils Area of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area is also part of the Nez Perce National Forest.
