Rafting
Portions of the St. Joe River in Idaho's Panhandle are protected by Congress through the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Protected in 1978, ROW Adventures pioneered the first whitewater rafting trip on the scenic St. Joe in 1986. Since then ROW has taken thousands of guests through the St. Joe's crystal clear waters and thick cedar forests. The Class II-III whitewater is ideally suited for beginners but exciting enough to thrill experienced rafters as well. Runs ar scheduled from May through the early part of July. The St. Joe's narrow canyon walls restrict the river to create big, exploding waves. In between rapids, floating through gorgeous Idaho mountain scenery, you can watch trout swimming in the emerald waters of the St. Joe. Schedule your whitewater rafting trip with ROW. |
