Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho are harder than the national norm, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Idaho and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. 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. This stretch of Moyie River in Boundary County is 20.6 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming
from far and near. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other spots.
