Overview The South Fork of the Payette features a run through a canyon with a portage at Big Falls. The lower part includes the memorable Staircase rapid. It can be an advanced whitewater run for one, two, or three days of excitement. Three-day trips start high in Idaho's Sawtooth mountains, above the town of 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. Photo courtesy of Cascade Raft Company.
