The Canada border to Moyie Falls Dam section of Moyie River in Idaho is 20.6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. The beautiful scenery of Boundary County and the water flowing gracefully down Moyie River
    attract people from near and far. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Canada
border to Moyie Falls Dam stretch is one of them. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. 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 pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The starting location is a short drive from Coeur d'Alene, if you're not familiar with the  
area there's a road map further down the page. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of other spots. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Idaho is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.

Briefly about the general area:
Take a hike on the Queen Mountain Trail; while you're here you will meet lots of people from close by Eastport. Moyie River is right by the Rutledge Creek Trail. Summertime highs at Moyie River typically tend to be in the 80's.
