The scenic beauty of Idaho and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. This section of Camas Creek in Idaho is 7 miles long and it is classified as a class I-III section by American Whitewater. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Twin Falls, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Since you're on this |
site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national
| average, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Blaine Bridge to Moonstone Landing section is one of them. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
