Salmon River

The Salmon River runs north through Keene — a cold, fast tributary system that drains into the East Branch of the Ausable River below town. It's less traveled than the mainstream Ausable channels and sees more local attention than destination traffic: wade fishing for brookies in spring and early summer, mostly pocket water and short runs through mixed hardwood and hemlock. The upper tributaries push into state land west of Keene Valley, but most anglers work the mid-section crossings along back roads between NY-73 and the Styles Brook confluence. Check DEC regs — some upper reaches fall under catch-and-release wild trout management.
