Idaho whitewater - Grimes Creek, Boise County Boise county, 4 miles upstream of Highway 21 to MoReservoir Creek confluence section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     4 miles   I drive this stretch of creek all the time and the only time this creek is high enough to float is very early spring. I am unsure of the MoReservoir creek confluence. I am familiar with Mores creek confluance. Most of the summer you will be lucky to float a stick down this stretch. Says Mike The natural beauty of Boise County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far.
