Idaho whitewater - Boundary Creek, Boundary County

Boundary county, Close to Canadian border to Road 2450 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     10 miles
  The nature scenery of Boundary County and the water flowing gracefully down Boundary Creek have people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. Boundary Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Close to Canadian border to Road 2450 section is the only one. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it
    an overnighter, so why not pack your camp stove too. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking,
either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came.
