Sunbeam Dam to Holman Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 14 miles
The nature scenery of Idaho and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. 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 rivers here are less forgiving. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. This stretch of Salmon River in Idaho is 14 miles long and is a class IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Whether you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. 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. Whitewater paddling here in the Salmon River Mountains is a great experience.
The campgrounds here at Salmon River are pretty good. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
Briefly about the general area: It is very dehydrated here at Salmon River mostly; the wettest month of the year is typically December, that's the one that snows the most, and the driest month is July. Put some time aside to spend at Snyder Springs if you're here at Salmon River, and Aspen Gulch
is beyond doubt a nice location to visit. You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors enjoyable things the Salmon River Mountains has to offer. All through the summertime, highs regularly are in the 70's at Salmon River; the night is rather cooler of course, generally in the 30's. The winter brings highs down to the 20's while the cold winter nights at Salmon River are in the-10's.
