Paddling near Idaho Falls, ID

Set in Bonneville County on the upper Snake River, Idaho Falls puts paddlers directly on the water: the river flows through downtown, offering a quick float from the Animal Shelter put-in to just above the falls. From here a corridor of marquee waters spreads out — Ririe Reservoir roughly 10 miles east, the world-class South Fork Snake River toward Swan Valley, and the meandering Teton River beneath the Teton Range.
