Big Creek Road

Big Creek Road goes from near Yellow Pine to Edwardsburg. It is the first road of a four-road route from Yellow Pine to the Salmon River near Riggins. Big Creek Road is easy to drive and suitable for any vehicle with moderate ground clearance. The surface is maintained gravel, but many rocks extend above the road surface, making for an often rough ride. The main hazards are blind curves and a sometimes reasonably rough surface. The road follows picturesque babbling brooks for almost its entire length, and there are ample opportunities for big, expansive views. Unfortunately, the view is often obscured during the fire season with smoke from wildfires in the area.

Dispersed camping is allowed, but campfires are only allowed in designated campsites. One campground is near the Big Creek Airport just north of Big Creek Road, and another is just south of Yellow Pine on Johnson Creek Road.
