CLASS V     13 miles
  The wonderful Idaho scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Camas Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This stretch of Camas Creek is 13 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. There are no other sections to paddle along Camas Creek than the Duck Creek to confluence with M.Fork Salmon section. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter,
    so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. When you're paddling down a Salmon River Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. The nearby hotels
are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Idaho you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy.
