Payette - Gutter II+
River DescriptionLat / Longitude data approximate.The 'Gutter' is about 1/2 hour from Boise near Horseshoe Bend. There are 4 drops. Usually only one or two at the bottom are sticky. You may also be interested in the Upper Main or Lower Main (includes Climax Wave) on the Payette. WHEN TO RUN: Spring
through Fall. Even a winters day can be fun given enough water. Big water springs bring on the 'Bladder wave'.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Drive north on State Hwy 55 for about 22 miles. Turn right on Pioneer Ave
just prior to crossing the first bridge over the Payette and actually entering
Horseshoe Bend. Follow this road for about 2 miles. Just after the pavement ends
there is an access road that peels off insight of the diversion dam
to your left. This is a 'park-n-play' feature. WHAT ELSE IS IN THE AREA:
LOTS! The Payette South Fork (Canyon, Swirly
Canyon and Staircase
runs), Payette North Fork (Cabarton's
class III and Smiths
Ferry-Banks class V sections), Payette Middle Fork runs, as well as the
Payette Upper Main
and Lower Main. |
