Wow!  What a ride!  That’s what rafters say when they get off the Canyon section of the South Fork Payette.  It’s a kick in the pants!  The put-in for this rafting trip is 10 minutes drive from our headquarters.

The Canyon boasts some of the best whitewater rafting in Idaho.  This reservoir fed section has twenty-five class 3 and 4 rapids and a portage around Big Falls waterfall.  You will enjoy lunch on river, a jump rock and a stop at Pine Flat hotsprings.  Because of the remoteness of this trip, you do need to be able to walk on uneven ground and be somewhat physically fit.  The portage and ramp at the takeout can be challenging!

This section is a great option for the second day of a multi-day rafting trip.

Canyon trips run daily from 9:45-3:30.
