River Description

Marble Creek is a beautiful tributary of the Middle Fork Salmon that offers paddlers a relatively easy hike-up option from several desirable camps. The lower couple miles at least are cruisey class II+. If you are camped at Marble or even Sunflower and like to hike with your boat and see new country, this is a fun little jaunt. Surely you could hike much farther upstream and enjoy your paddle back to the Middle Fork. If others have done so, add a trip report!

Quick Pre-Dinner Walk-Up - Kevin Colburn

We camped at Sunflower and had a couple hours of energy left so we ferried across and hiked up to Marble Creek and then upstream a bit over a mile. We enjoyed an uncomplicated and scenic paddle back to camp. The balsam root were peaking, flows were ideal for us, and there was no wood in Marble Creek.
