Idaho whitewater - Snake River - South Fork, Bonneville County

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

 

CLASS II     43 miles
  The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Rexburg, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Idaho you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so it looks like
    you will be camping out. The wonderful Idaho scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There are no other sections to paddle along
