 Overview
The South Fork of the Payette is an advanced whitewater run for one, two, or three days of excitement, featuring a run through a canyon with a portage at Big Falls. Three-day trips start high in Idaho's Sawtooth mountains, above Lowman. After the Deadwood River adds its flow, the river begins to drop about 40 feet per mile with continuous steep rapids. This Canyon stretch is punctuated at its deepest point by a 40-foot waterfall. River runners portage around this spectacular sight then continue on through a narrow gorge filled with natural hot springs. The lower part includes the memorable Staircase rapid.
