The nature scenery of Idaho and the water flowing gracefully down Henrys Fork have people coming here. This stretch of Henrys Fork in Idaho is 11 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-V section. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your camping stuff. |
The starting location is a reasonable drive from Rexburg, as you can see on the road map further down. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. You might be into whitewater rafting
| or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling rivers. The Riverside Campground to above Upper Mesa Falls stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable.
