The starting location is a reasonable drive from Moscow, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There's camping available near Potlatch River. There are some good stretches to paddle in this
river system, the Cedar Creek to Kendrick stretch is one of them. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The wonderful Latah/ Nez Perce County scenery and the playfulness of the water attract people
from near and far. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good places for that around here. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon.
