Three Forks to Rome section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV(V) 37 miles
The wonderful Malheur County scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up
sleeping in your car. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so it looks like you will be camping out. The Three Forks to Rome section of Owyhee River
in Malheur County is 37 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV(V) section.
