Idaho whitewater, Bear River Franklin county, Grace Power Plant to ID-34 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     7 miles   We floated the Wayland Hot Springs to the Weston Bridge. You cannot put in downriver from the Highway 91 bridge anymore. However you can cross the highway and park and put in at the Riverside RV and trailer park. They have a boat ramp and a great place to camp. About a half mile above Squaw Hotsprings, a fence has been hung across the river, watch out that you don't snag your head, duck! After that there really is no obstructions until you     get to the diverson about 2 miles above the Weston Bridge. Run this right down the middle. This is a great family float and a nice flat part of the river for beginners. Says Mary Jo The Grace Power Plant to ID-34 section of Bear River in Franklin County is 7 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Franklin County scenery and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The starting location is a short drive from Logan, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There's camping available near Bear River. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for   a morning trip. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Grace Power Plant to ID-34 section is one of them. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners.
