Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers.

good. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular
destination. The natural beauty of Idaho and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. The river winds through the Salmon River Mountains and you get great scenery. This is the only paddling section along Hard Creek.
