  The natural beauty of Owyhee County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. The El Paso pipeline section of Owyhee River - South Fork in Idaho is 36 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater.

    does require some preparations, so better bring your camping gear along. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. And of course, there are campgrounds
nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots.
