Idaho whitewater - Henrys Fork, Fremont County

Fremont county, Box Canyon to Last Chance section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     4 miles
 
Box Canyon can be floated by most anyone in a canoe, raft, drift boat, kayak or pontoon boat 8'+.  There are enough rocks and shoreline sweepers to keep you on your toes.  It's mainly floated by anglers or pleasure floaters and is often done several times a day due to it's nice short length of 4 miles.  It's not real wilderness but the wilds are closeby and it's got a nice feel. Says Larry Tullis

The nature scenery of Idaho and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The starting point is not too far from Rexburg,
    as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This stretch has has enough mileage, it's perfect for a one day
trip. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The Box Canyon to Last Chance stretch of Henrys Fork is 4 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Lodging is available near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Box Canyon to Last Chance stretch is just one of many. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for  
more.
