Idaho whitewater - Bruneau River, Owyhee County

Owyhee county, Indian Hot Springs to 8 miles South of Bruneau section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     40 miles
  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 runs in this state are not easy. This section of Bruneau River is 40 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. If you're coming from Mountain Home it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make
    reservations in advance you're all set. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so better bring your camping gear along. The Indian Hot Springs to 8 miles South of Bruneau section is one of many
paddling sections in this river system. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places.
