 Overview
The Main Payette below Banks offers easy access to rapids of moderate difficulty and is a fine run for boaters with good basic skills. There are good swimming beaches just north of Horseshoe Bend and south of Banks. The Payette River is just an hour's drive from Boise but it still manages to leave civilization far behind. Visitors float a clean mountain river with forested banks and hawks or osprey flying overhead, and different groups enjoy different stretches of the river. The Main Payette River is perfect for families or beginning river rafters looking for a few hours of fun outdoor time. The water is mostly quiet with a few class II-III rapids.
Half-day to three-day guided Payette River trips are $30-$350 per person.
