Idaho whitewater - Fish Creek, Clearwater Mountains, Idaho County

Idaho county, Forest Service Road to Lochsa River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     1.5 miles
  The natural beauty of Idaho County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. This stretch of Fish Creek in Idaho is 1.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV section. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature
    are great reasons to come. Fish Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Forest Service Road to Lochsa River section is the only one. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Idaho is often more difficult than elsewhere, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy
as elsewhere. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The beauty of the Clearwater Mountains is a great plus for this river.
