The Salt River is a river in the northeast of Knox Country. It rises in Jefferson Forest, flows south of Valley Station and joins the Ohio River at West Point.
West Point sits right at the meeting point of the two rivers. The Salt River is a much shorter version of the real river of the same name in Kentucky.
For travelers, the river is a minor obstacle. It lies across the route between West Point and Valley Station or Louisville. Knowing the crossings saves time on any trip north toward the city.

Surviving in Salt River
The river gives an endless supply of water to boil and a good place to fish. The blocked road bridge slows vehicles heading for Valley Station and Louisville. The railroad bridge beside it is the quickest way past. The Salt River Road bridge upstream gives another crossing. Camp Fitzgerald, east along the river, makes a sheltered base near the water.
