The average Idaho whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The natural beauty of Idaho and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to
    drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. 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. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
