Welcome to Payetteriver.org, your online source
for information about the Payette River system of Idaho. The Payette
river is 45 minutes from Boise, Idaho via Hwy 55. It offers a variety
of rafting and kayaking from easy class I all the way to Big Falls,
an unrunable class VI.
There are three major forks the North Fork, the South Fork and the
Main Payette. The Main Payette, which begins when the North and South
forks converge at Banks, Idaho, is the staple for many recreational
boaters from the Boise area during the summer months. The South Fork
of the Payette consists mostly of class III and IV rapids with two
main sections. The North Fork is home to 15 miles of continuous class
V whitewater, one of the most difficult whitewater challenges in
the US. The North Fork also has one of the most scenic sections,
the Cabarton Run (class II-III).
Camping and lodging is abundant on the shores of both the South and
North forks.
