Troutdale Campground to Badger Creek Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II 9 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The Troutdale Campground to Badger Creek Campground section of Boise River in Elmore County is 9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II section. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Mountain Home, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable
for an afternoon trip. The Troutdale Campground to Badger Creek Campground section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good places. A bit of exercise
and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The scenic beauty of Idaho and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
