Spruce Tree Campground to Gold Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 10 miles
The Spruce Tree Campground to Gold Creek stretch of St. Joe River in Shoshone County is 10 miles long and is a class III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Idaho is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The Bitterroot Range scenery is wonderful. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The nature scenery of Shoshone County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. 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. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. The Spruce Tree Campground
to Gold Creek stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.
