Nez Perce Ford Picnic Area is a small roadside pull out that’s perfect for a quick family friendly snack or a stretch rather than a full destination. You’ll find picnic tables, a vault toilet, and limited first come parking. There is no potable water or visitor services so bring your own food, water, and a bag to pack out trash.

Feel free to take a short stroll along the riverbed, but be bear aware: keep food in your car or a bear proof locker if available, never leave coolers unattended, and carry bear spray if you plan to wander from the site. Cell service is unreliable, and access can be seasonal, so plan ahead.
