Imnaha, Oregon

*Adventurous Travel: roads not recommended for motor homes or vehicles towing trailers; usually passable from July to October*

Imnaha was once a winter village for one of the large bands of the Nez Perce. Numerous pit house villages extended both north and south. The Imnaha River, prior to the building of the dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, was one of the finest salmon streams in the region. There is a canyon overlook interpretive sign 7.5 miles north of Imnaha, Oregon on the way to Dug Bar.
