Idaho whitewater - Coeur d'Alene River, Bitterroot Range, Shoshone County

Shoshone county, Tepee Creek to South Fork Coeur d'Alene River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     51.2 miles
  The scenic beauty of Idaho and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Coeur d'Alene River is 51.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. The average Idaho whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The wild scenery
    of the Bitterroot Range is great. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This river system has a few good paddling sections and
the Tepee Creek to South Fork Coeur d'Alene River section is one of them. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots.

Briefly about the general area:
For the duration of the months of summer at Coeur d'Alene River highs are mostly in the 70's. Throughout the dark hours of summer temperatures drop down into the 40's. Through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 30's with winter lows in the 20's
 
overnight here at Coeur d'Alene River. A great place to take a look at right next door to Coeur d'Alene River is Clark Gulch, and going for a hike along the Boundary Peak Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood.
Yeah, come up here to the Bitterroot Range for a delightful time. Coeur d'Alene River gets a common amount of annual rainfall; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most snow while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
