Idaho whitewater, Bear River

Caribou Bear Lake county, Grace Dam Bridge to Grace Power Plant section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-V     6 miles
  The put-in is not too far from Logan, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Idaho are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. The nature scenery
    of Idaho and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Grace Dam Bridge to Grace Power Plant section
is one of them. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The Grace Dam Bridge to Grace Power Plant section of Bear River in Idaho is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-V section. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. 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.
