River Description

See Vince's Idaho Rafting Page for some info. Also check out the GORP Hells Canyon Page. This is a permitted reach of river. See the Lottery Page for info.


Lat/Longitude data are very approximate.

Hells Canyon is the nation's deepest river canyon. The sorrounding peaks rise as much as 6000 feet above the river. The result is a very scenic 3-4 day trip with a number of class II-III rapids and two class IVs. The Wild and Scenic Snake River Boater's Guide is available from the US Forest Service, giving detailed information on campsites, rapids, and regulations. A lottery permit season runs from late May to early-mid September. Before and after the lottery season, only a self issue permit is required and can be obtained for free at the launch site.
