Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state

The Twin Falls to FR 88 section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. The campgrounds here at Lewis River - North Fork are pretty good. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
