Most of Salmon River sits inside the Agricultural Land Reserve. The ALR is a provincial zone established under the Agricultural Land Commission Act and administered by the ALC. ALR-designated land is restricted to agricultural use unless a non-farm use is specifically permitted by ALC regulation.

Practical impacts at resale: dwelling-count limits (typically one principal dwelling plus permitted secondary forms — additional residences require ALC approval or fit within the recent reform allowances), no subdivision below ALC-set minimum parcel size, restrictions on non-farm use of buildings, and farm-classification implications for property tax. For any specific parcel, the ALR status is easy to confirm via the ALC Land Reserve Map before the offer.
