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. The nature scenery of Idaho and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
