Idaho whitewater - Mores Creek, Boise County

CLASS II-III     13 miles
  The Big Gulch to Robie Creek stretch of Mores Creek in Boise County is 13 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Boise City-Nampa, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful Idaho scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere,
    so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming 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.
Mores Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Big Gulch to Robie Creek section is the only one. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. The campgrounds here at Mores Creek are pretty good.
