to Idaho section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III+     34 miles
  The scenic beauty of Nevada and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The to Idaho section of Owyhee River - South Fork in unknown County is 34 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III+ section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great
    reasons to come. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so it looks like you will be camping out. This is the only
paddling stretch along Owyhee River - South Fork. The campgrounds here at Owyhee River - South Fork are pretty good.
