CLASS I(II)     7.3 miles
  This stretch of Snake River is 7.3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I(II) section. The natural beauty of Idaho and the cool fresh water beats anything. The campgrounds here at Snake River are pretty good. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. If you're coming from Burley it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might
    find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. Some people prefer whitewater rafting
and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
