Blaine County...

... a history as varied as its topography.


The topographic, geographic location, and seasonal variation in climate in Blaine County create a unique and varied natural environment which ranges from the scenic high alpine country in the north to the desolate lava plains and desert mountains in the south.

As a recreational area, Blaine County is known throughout the United States and the world for the quality and variety of the natural environment and recreational opportunities. Renowned as a winter haven, the addition of Elkhorn Resort in 1970 brought a new perspective to Blaine County - year round recreation. Now activities like kayaking, backpacking, ice skating, hiking, golf, swimming, water-skiing, jogging, horseback riding, mountain biking, camping, sailing and fishing attract recreation lovers from around the world looking for world-class outdoor activities. Among them is the world class flying fishing on legendary Silver Creek. The Salmon River, also known as the River of No Return with its headwaters in the north and the Snake River in the south offer solitude and spectacular white water rafting.
