CLASS III-IV     7 miles
 
We Paddle rafted the Joe 2009 Memorial Day, the tumble down run was big & fast.It is a great run when the water is high with big waves and a great run when the water is lower with some awsome rock garden, and tight canyon walls. Says BWhite

The natural beauty of Shoshone County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. This stretch of St. Joe River is 7 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want
    to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The beautiful Bitterroot Range scenery is an added bonus. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The Conrad Crossing Campground to Bluff Creek Bridge section
is one of many paddling sections in this river system. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here.
