Carroll county, Banning Mill Road to Johns Mill section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III+     3 miles
  The nature scenery of Carroll County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The starting point is not too far from LaGrange, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The Banning Mill Road to Johns Mill section of Snake River in Carroll County is 3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III+ section. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might
    find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This is the only paddling section along Snake River.
For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.

Briefly about the general area:
