Class III-IV North Fork Owyhee River, OR
North Fork Owyhee Wild and Scenic River (Idaho border to the confluence with the Owyhee River)
Boating opportunities and activities are supported by high water flows during spring and early summer. A high-quality, 18-mile section from the North Fork Campground to the confluence with the Owyhee River in Three Forks, Oregon, is recommended for expert boaters in kayaks and small catarafts. After warming up on a few Class II-III rapids, boaters encounter steep Class III-IV rapids (depending on flow).
