Payette, N. Fork

Great river for the whitewater intermediate. Action gets more progressive near the end of the run. Run is mostly has pool drop rapids with Trestle Rapid being the exception. The last 3 rapids are a hoot!! The run ends into a small lake. Water is generally warmer than most and exceptionally warm in late summer because the river is fed from top waters from the dam at Cascade.You have to poop in a container so you dont ruin camp sites.And not get stuck in the room of doom after howards plunge.

Other comments: at least a 1-2 long flat stretch in the middle of the run. Very scenic run. A lot of bald eagles abound.
