The natural beauty of Twin Falls/ Jerome County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The Milner Dam to Power Plant stretch of Snake River is 1.6 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V+ section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Idaho is often tougher than elsewhere, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. Getting
your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This is a somewhat short section so better bring some good walking shoes. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too.
For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The put-in location is a short drive from Burley, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
