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

Boise county, End of Road to South Fork Payette River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     10 miles
  This section of Deadwood River in Boise County is 10 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Idaho scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections
    here are not safe for beginners. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. The beautiful Salmon River Mountains scenery is an added bonus. 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. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
