This stretch of Payette River - South Fork in Boise County is 10 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. The natural beauty of Boise County and the water flowing gracefully down Payette River - South Fork are reasons enough to come here and paddle.

    are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter,
