River Description
There is only one known descent of the lower EF SF Salmon and that was in the early 2000s by Rush Sturges, Ben Wartburg, and Skippy.
Like the run upstream of it, the lower EF SF Salmon is difficult, tight, manky, and has wood hazards.
The 2021 River Complex burned the river left side of this section and has greatly increased the amount of wood in the river.
