goodfishing Says hankplaskey

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.

Briefly about the general area:
For the period of the days of summer at Snake River temperatures are generally in the 80's. Throughout the moonlight hours it's ordinarily in the 50's. For the duration of
 
the winter highs are in the 30's, and winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Snake River. At Snake River you don’t see much rainfall; the month of November is the wettest with most of the rain, and July on the other hand is the driest.
