Deep Creek Wild and Scenic River (Owyhee River Wilderness to Owyhee River)
Deep Creek carves an extremely meandering, vertical walled canyon to its confluence with the Owyhee River. This is a spring run (March to May). Deep Creek can be kayaked or canoed in the early spring when flows reach into the hundreds of cubic feet per second from snowmelt.
Although this Class II stream offers no difficult rapids, it demands a high level of skill to negotiate its narrow width and braided channels while avoiding thick, overhanging vegetation and frequent strikes against gravel bars, streamside cliffs, and fences.
Later in the spring and again in the fall Deep Creek provides outstanding hiking and backpacking opportunities.
