Region & Climate
Salmon, Idaho, is situated in the Lemhi Valley, surrounded by the towering Bitterroot and Lemhi mountain ranges, and intersected by the Salmon River. The region features a mix of rugged mountains, river valleys, and high desert, creating diverse ecosystems from dense pine forests to sagebrush plains. Salmon has a semi-arid climate, with hot, dry summers often reaching the low 90s (F) and cold, snowy winters that frequently dip below freezing. The area's seasonal transitions bring colorful autumn foliage and a burst of wildflowers in spring, while heavy snowfall in the nearby mountains supports winter recreation and sustains the river's flow throughout the year.
History
The history of property in Salmon, Idaho, is deeply tied to its natural resources and rugged landscape. Initially inhabited by the Lemhi Shoshone people, the region saw an influx of settlers following the 1860s gold rush and the Homestead Act, which spurred the establishment of small farms and mining claims. The arrival of the railroad in 1910 boosted land values and development, shifting focus from mining to agriculture and ranching. Over time, many small homesteads merged into larger ranches, while much of the surrounding land became federally managed, preserving the area's wilderness and supporting its legacy as a center for outdoor recreation and ranching.
Location
Salmon, Idaho, is a picturesque town located in the heart of the Lemhi Valley, along the banks of the Salmon River. Nestled between the Bitterroot Range to the north and the Lemhi Range to the south, it sits in a remote yet beautiful part of central Idaho. The town lies approximately 250 miles northeast of Boise and 140 miles south of Missoula, Montana, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring the mountainous regions of Idaho and Montana.
The nearest major airport is Missoula Montana Airport (MSO), about a three-hour drive north, offering flights to several major U.S. cities. Additionally, Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) is roughly a two-and-a-half-hour drive southeast, providing another option for domestic flights.

Lemhi County - NKN Deer Valley Rd, Salmon, ID
Deer Creek Mountain Ranch supports a beautiful Cottonwood lined valley that is held between the towering ridge tops, enhancing the secluded feel of the property. Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail-Deer, and Antelope frequent the property to utilize the water and forage. Over-The-Counter tags for various Big-Game species and seasons provide many hunting opportunities. The nearby Salmon River offers world-class fishing, and additional recreational opportunities include White-water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and skiing. The property is located in a prime position as there are thousands of acres of public land, which is difficult to access outside of the property.
The property is excellent as a rifle hunting property as the tall ridges on either side of the creek-fed valley offer great vantage points from which to spot game. The open country along the side hills offers enough open terrain for unobstructed shots but enough topography and cover to move into position. Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, and Antelope will move onto the property for abundant feed and water, and because of the hunting pressure on nearby public land. Over-The-Counter tags are available for Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Antelope, Black Bear, and Mountain Lion. Chukar hunting is also a great way to spend a day on the property.
Cottonwoods line the creek running North to South through the center of the property and its irrigated meadows. The foliage is an excellent mix of Cottonwoods, Willows, Sagebrush, and grasses that climb to the property boundaries high up the hills and draws. Traveling from the Salmon River up Deer Creek Mountain Road provides impressive views of deep forest pockets, black cliffs, and open red rock cliffs and ridges. Surrounding BLM land has leases that could be pursued by new owners.
The property is currently fenced for cattle, and a water control system helps with flood-irrigation to grow plenty of forage for cattle and wildlife. From the valley floor to the tall ridges, the ranch offers magnificent ranch views of the 8600'-9300' Twin Peaks Mountain. Salmon, Idaho, is 20 miles to the North and offers a smaller county airport; and the larger Missoula Montana Airport, with daily direct domestic flights, is roughly 120 miles away.
