    down the stream have people coming here. The Bitterroot Range scenery is wonderful. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Tepee Creek
to South Fork Coeur d'Alene River stretch is one of them. There's camping available near Coeur d'Alene River.
