CLASS III-V     11 miles
  The Riverside Campground to above Upper Mesa Falls stretch of Henrys Fork is 11 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-V section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Rexburg, as you can see on the road map further down. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camp
    stove too. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Riverside Campground to above Upper Mesa Falls stretch is just one of them. The nature scenery of Idaho and the sparkling of
the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
