The nature scenery of Idaho County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle.

The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than
    in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because
it is a very popular destination. The Hard Creek to Little Salmon confluence section is the only paddling section along Hazard Creek. When you're paddling down a Salmon River Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
