Sawmill Canyon Road (Forest Service Road #101) is an easy, unpaved road winding through the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Following the curve of Sawmill Creek, it offers access to alpine meadows, dispersed campsites, and a wide network of backcountry trails. It is perfect for OHV riders, hikers, and solitude-seekers alike.
This remote corridor is also the centerpiece of the Sawmill Canyon Project (2020–2023), a major effort to balance recreation with conservation. The project rerouted trails away from streams, installed bridges to prevent erosion, closed unsustainable user-created paths, and opened others to wider offroad vehicles, all while restoring wildlife habitat with the help of over 800 volunteer hours.
Despite being unpaved with the occasional pothole, the road is suitable for RVs and towable trailers. Primitive campsites, often tucked into aspen groves or beside creekside meadows, offer a peaceful base for exploring.
