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.
