CLASS III 36 miles
The Crutcher's Crossing to Three Forks stretch of Owyhee River in Owyhee County is 36 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. The Crutcher's Crossing to Three Forks section is one of many paddling sections in this river
system. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of Idaho and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and
if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more.
