Custer
county,
Sunbeam Dam to Holman Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 14 miles
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. The beautiful scenery of Idaho and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The wild scenery of the Salmon River Mountains is great. This section of Salmon River is 14 miles long and it is classified as a class IV section by American Whitewater. The Sunbeam Dam to Holman Creek stretch is
one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other spots for that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
