Selway Falls to Boyd Creek Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 7 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The scenic beauty of Idaho and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The Selway Falls to Boyd Creek Campground stretch is the only paddling stretch along Selway River. The beautiful Clearwater Mountains scenery is an added bonus. This is a pretty decent
length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both,
doesn't matter, there are lots of good places for that around here. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. The Selway Falls to Boyd Creek Campground section of Selway River is 7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section.
