Nordheimer is in the heart of the Salmon River whitewater area. Rafting activities begin in early spring and continue until the water levels drop too low, usually in early summer. Nordheimer is a must for those seeking beauty and seclusion. Remnants from historic mining operations can still be seen in this remote but beautiful camping area. A few fruit trees remain from past homesteading activities. Boat access through the campground to the river’s edge is available for 4x4 vehicles.
