Idaho whitewater - Potlatch River, Clearwater Mountains, Latah/ Nez Perce County
Latah/ Nez Perce
county,
Little Boulder Campground to Cedar Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-V 15 miles
The Little Boulder Campground to Cedar Creek stretch of Potlatch River in Latah/ Nez Perce County is 15 miles long and is a class II-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The wonderful Latah/ Nez Perce County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Potlatch River are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Moscow, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night,
and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you won't
find many other paddling spots. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. The Clearwater Mountains scenery is wonderful.
