Although no designated Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) areas exist, usage of OHVs is one of the fastest growing recreation opportunities within the field office. Two trails, the Idaho Centennial Trail and the Roberson Trail, do run through the area. The Idaho Centennial Trail is entirely motorized, but is located in remote terrain with difficult access. The Roberson Trail, in the Bruneau Canyon, is primarily for non-motorized use and is frequently used in the spring and early summer by whitewater boaters accessing the Five Mile Rapids, a series of Class IV rapids on the Bruneau River. For more information on how and where to ride in Idaho, please visit www.idaho-ohv.org.

The Jarbidge Field Office offers a diversity of recreational sites and facilities for southwestern Idaho visitors including 6 developed sites. Developed sites include: Bruneau Canyon Overlook, Bruneau River Launch Site (East), Bruneau River Take-out, Cedar Creek Reservoir (Roseworth), East Fork Jarbidge River Recreation Sites and the Jarbidge River Recreation Site. 
  
Whitewater recreation activities on the Jarbidge and Bruneau River systems continue to be popular locally, regionally and nationally. The region has a growing national reputation for those attracted to remote, wild, and spectacular canyons and challenging whitewater. The float season lasts one month, with the peak use during late May. Kayaks are a primary mode of transportation. Experience world-class whitewater rapids aboard a raft or kayak on your own or hire a river guide (http://www.ioga.org/). 

Once proper precautions are taken, visitors can explore the expansive Idaho scenery without borders or restrictions. Visitors are also encouraged to explore off the beaten path and camping is allowed in non-designated areas on BLM land. But if you choose to do this, please remember to stay on established roads and trails, “leave no trace,” and “pack out, what you pack in.” Also, be prepared for wide temperature changes and dry conditions in this arid, high desert climate, and be alert for fire/fuels conditions and seasonal restrictions.

Dispersed camping is popular and enjoyed by visitors to the region. Visitors often camp along the west side of the Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir and find unique fishing holes along the Snake River.
