On the initial morning, we will meet at our base in Lowman to equip you with whitewater gear, complete check-in procedures, and provide a briefing on the itinerary. After that, we’ll shuttle your vehicles to our riverside camp about 5 miles away from our headquarters. Your cars will be parked around 350 feet above the campsite. Next, you’ll hop on our bus or van for a ride upstream. This journey will treat you to rugged views of a beautiful part of Idaho’s wilderness!
Begin your first day of rafting on the Kirkham section of the South Fork Payette, famous for its beautiful views, hot springs, and, notably rafting. This section of white water is a great warm-up for what’s to come on day 2! With a couple of class III rapids and consistent gradient, this fun bouncy ride takes you through hotsprings, jump rocks and a sandy lunch spot. Rafts usually arrive at our exclusive camp around 3:00. You will be able to reach your vehicle from the campsite, collect your belongings, and get comfortable in your tents.
Our beach camp is incredibly beautiful and a definite must-see! We provide all camping gear for multi-day river trips in Idaho, giving you the chance to unwind after a fantastic day on the water. You can engage in activities like bocce ball, horseshoes, and slacklining. As you relax, our guides will prepare a delightful appetizer, a delicious dinner, and irresistible Dutch oven brownies. Relax while listening to guitar by the fire, or retreat to your tent and let the sound of the river lull you to sleep.
Day two of this river trip in Idaho is a special one! We’ll start the day off @ 8:00, while you enjoy a hot beverage along with fruit and juice, followed by a white water worthy breakfast at 9:00. We’ll set off from camp in rafts heading for the high adventure, high adrenaline Canyon section around 10:00. With 25 class III/IV rapids and a portage around a waterfall, you’ll be happy to catch your breath at Pine Flats hotspring and another lunch on a sandy beach! The breathtaking Canyon walls will have you in awe of such beauty in the Boise National Forest! After a day on the river, you can return to our camp for another tasty meal and a relaxing night’s rest.
You will head back to your vehicles at approximately 3:00 on the third afternoon.
Best rafting trip I’ve been on in Idaho. Our guide Ewan was informative and funny. Scenery was incredible, and this is now our go to company for rafting trips when family comes to town.
