CLASS I-II     10 miles
  If you're coming from Mountain Home it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The natural beauty of Elmore County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. Great exercise and
    a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Anderson
Ranch Dam to Danskin Bridge section is just one of them. 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. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
