You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve
in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling stretch along Clearwater River. The rivers for whitewater rafting and
kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving.
