Where to Go Whitewater Rafting
- Salmon River – This is one of Idaho’s most popular rivers summer and early fall float trips. Rapids range from gentle Class I to challenging Class IV, and calm pools are found between the rapids. Rafters often camp out along its sandy banks.
- Little Salmon River – This scenic river is known for some of the Northwest’s most spectacular rapids.
- Payette River – Offering a wide range of rapids, the north fork has a renowned Class V run that stretches for 15 miles.
- Snake River – Boasting some excellent Class V rapids, this river attracts many world class rafters. It also has several Class II and III rapids such as Water Spout and Rush Creek. One of its popular Class IV rapids is Granite Creek. Nothing quite compares with floating the Snake through Hells Canyon, which is deeper than the Grand Canyon.
