Idaho whitewater - Deadwood River, Salmon River Mountains, Boise County

Boise county, Deadwood Reservoir to End of Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     14 miles
  The nature scenery of Boise County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. When you're paddling down a Salmon River Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your camping stuff. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a
    short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Deadwood Reservoir to End of Road stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming
back for more. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. The campgrounds here at Deadwood River are pretty good.
