Bonneville county, Palisades Dam to Launch Site East of Poplar section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     43 miles
  If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This section of Snake River - South Fork in Bonneville County is 43 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II section of whitewater. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. And of course, there are campgrounds
    nearby. 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. The put-in location is a short drive from Rexburg, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The wonderful
Bonneville County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Snake River - South Fork are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is the only paddling stretch along Snake River - South Fork.
