Clearwater county, Upper Weitas Pack Bridge to National Forest Clearwater section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(IV)     18 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Idaho is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The beautiful scenery of Idaho and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter,
