Idaho whitewater - Boise River - South Fork, Elmore County

Elmore county, Danskin Bridge to Neal Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     16 miles
  The nature scenery of Idaho and the water flowing gracefully down Boise River - South Fork beats anything. The Danskin Bridge to Neal Bridge stretch of Boise River - South Fork in Idaho is 16 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter,
    so pack your camping stuff. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. There are plenty of other sections in this river
system that can be paddled as well. The starting point is not too far from Mountain Home, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
