The Whitewater River run in Idaho is a popular destination for experienced kayakers and whitewater enthusiasts. The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 500-1500 cfs, as water levels above or below this range can make the rapids either too shallow or too dangerous.
The river is rated as Class III-IV, with some sections reaching Class V during high water levels. The run spans approximately 8 miles from just west of Crystal Lake to the Trailhead. Some of the notable rapids and obstacles in this section include the S-Turn, Boulder Garden, and Toilet Bowl.
It is important to note that this run is not suitable for beginners or unguided trips, as the rapids can be challenging and dangerous. Additionally, all boaters are required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) and carry a whistle and signaling device. The use of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited on the river.
Overall, the Whitewater River run offers a thrilling and exciting experience for experienced whitewater enthusiasts, but proper safety precautions and adherence to regulations are crucial for a successful and safe trip.
