There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This section of Boise River - North Fork in Idaho is 12 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. Getting some good
    exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip,
so why not pack your camping stuff too. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that.
