CLASS IV     3 miles
  The West Fork Bridge to upstream of Trail Creek section of Payette River - Middle Fork in Idaho is 3 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV section of whitewater. The nature scenery of Valley County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The West Fork Bridge to upstream of Trail Creek stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being
    out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting
here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. The wild scenery of the Salmon River Mountains is great. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.

Briefly about the general area:
So much cool stuff in the Salmon River Mountains, just fantastic. Hiking along the Sixmile Trail is pleasant fun, and you can have a delightful hiking adventure along the One Spoon Way. Don't
