If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your
camp stove. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The Little Boulder Campground to Cedar Creek section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. The Little Boulder Campground
to Cedar Creek section of Potlatch River is 15 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-V section of whitewater.
