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 wonderful Idaho scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. This stretch of Grimes Creek is 4 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. A bit of exercise and
just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Some people
prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots. There's camping available near Grimes Creek. Grimes Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the 4 miles upstream of Highway 21 to MoReservoir Creek confluence section is the only one. The starting location is a short drive from Boise City-Nampa, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
