about us
Supporting Multi-use Recreation in Hells Canyon
The Hells Canyon Recreation Collaborative was formed in December 2016 in order to work collaboratively to maintain and improve the river's recreation access (via land trails, water trails, hunting trails, equestrian trails, and aviation access) and its historical infrastructure by making recommendations to the US Forest Service.
Promoting a sustainable recreation experience through the involvement of a broad, diverse group, our organization encompasses a variety of recreation users such as rafters, jet boaters, aviators, citizens, outfitters and local government.
Our geographic location covered is the Snake River Wild and Scenic River corridor (rim to rim) contained in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, of which the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest manages.
Get involved!
