Kayak / Canoe

To get the real feel of nature at its best, plan to take a canoe or kayak trip on any of the waterways in the Wood River Valley. The best way to feel the thrill of the back country is to have a canoe or kayak under your seat, a paddle in your hand, and a sense of adventure in your soul.

The mountains surrounding Sun Valley Idaho are filled with lakes and rivers. From smooth surfaced lakes to roaring rapids on rivers, there is a canoe or kayak adventure just waiting for you.

Kayakers and canoers who love rapids can take a float trip on the wild rivers in the area. Guided tours are available and there is a river adventure waiting for individuals and families, too. Whether you are experienced or a novice, the thrill of a white water kayaking or canoeing trip is like no other.

For solitude and an opportunity to contemplate nature, take a leisurely paddle around any of the pristine high mountain lakes. View the wildlife as they come to the water to quench their thirst, watch fish jumping all around you, or simply enjoy the mountain crisp air and refreshing easy breeze.
