The put in place is about 4.5 miles up the road from the take out spot, just past the wooden bridge and before the reservoir. Don’t forget to leave a car at the take out spot, as there is no shuttle to get back to the top to retrieve your vehicle.

Be aware there is no cell phone reception.

Always wear life vests and do not tie inner tubes together, as the rope can get hung up on a rock and knock off passengers.

Caves
Minnetonka CaveAmazing guided cave tour. Requires tickets; see the website for cost and reservations. Its limestone rock formations are truly remarkable; well worth traversing 888 stairs to see them. It is a karst limestone cave, formed from ground water flowing through limestone and carving sink-holes and underground waterways.62 miles away (1 hr 27 min)Minnetonka Cave Rd, St Charles, ID 83272Tickets and reservations
Paris Ice CavesThe ice never completely melts in Paris Ice Cave, even in the hottest of summers. Water runs down into the cave from the surrounding hills from a small brook, creating the ice in this cave. It is accessible when the water dries out around the middle of July. There are two entrances to the cave that lead downward into the cave. It is very cold and contains ice even during the hottest summers.No cost or reservation required.25 miles (56 min)Green Basin Rd, Preston, ID 83263More about Paris Ice Cave
