The beautiful scenery 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 in Idaho is 1.6 miles long and it is classified as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. 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. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother
    nature 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 rivers. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular
destination. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
