Idaho whitewater, Henrys Fork

Fremont Madison county, Lower Mesa Falls to Warm River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II+(V)     4 miles
 
Great little slice of wilderness with a wicked put-in below lower mesa falls and just enough boat eating whitewater to weed out most floaters. I see parts of boats wrapped around rocks every year. Not for beginners. Fishing can be good and watch for bears, moose and eagles. An easier float starts part of the way down, accessed by the old Bear Gulch ski resort road, if it's open. Says Larry Tullis

The starting location is a short drive
    from Rexburg, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Idaho you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're
visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Lower Mesa Falls to Warm River section is just one of many. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want  
to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The scenic beauty of Idaho and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. The Lower Mesa Falls to Warm River stretch of Henrys Fork is 4 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II+(V) section of whitewater.

Briefly about the general area:
A journey to Henrys Fork wouldn’t be complete without a tour to close by Harriman State Park, and there are plenty of folks from Ashton here at Henrys Fork.
