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 lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The wonderful Idaho scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Deep Creek have people coming here. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. There's camping available near Deep Creek. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your
car. This stretch of Deep Creek in Idaho is 39 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. Deep Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Mudflat Road to Rickard Crossing Owyhee River section is the only one. A stretch of this length does require
some preparations, so it looks like you will be camping out. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that.
