Idaho whitewater - Brushy Fork, Bitterroot Range, Idaho County Idaho county, Off Elk Meadows Road to Crooked Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS IV-V+     13 miles   The average Idaho whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, 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 there are lots of good spots for that around here.
