The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Corn Creek to Vinegar Creek stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. Now this is a pretty long section, so it looks like you will be camping out. There
are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking,
either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. The beauty of the Salmon River Mountains is a great plus for this river. The Corn Creek to Vinegar Creek section of Salmon River is 79 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section.
