Idaho whitewater - Big Lost River - East Fork, Custer County Custer county, Headwaters to Forks section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     27.1 miles   I've rafted this streach, as well as down to Bartlett Point many times on an 8' pontoon boat. Canyon area just before confluence with N. Fk. is pretty tricky. There is a narrow chute that can be dangerous. Lots of fun to be had on the Big Lost!
