Paddling near Caldwell, ID


Set in Canyon County in southwest Idaho's Treasure Valley, Caldwell sits within a day-trip of three distinct paddling corridors. The Boise River flows directly past the city with gentle moving water, Lake Lowell offers 9,800 acres of flat water just to the southwest, the Snake River lies roughly 20–25 miles south through the Birds of Prey canyon, and the Payette River sits about 30 miles north with everything from beginner floats to Class V whitewater.
