Description
The North Fork of the Payette begins south of Payette Lake near McCall. Stretching south from here is the popular Cabarton Run, an 11-mile stretch of intermediate rapids with Class II to III rapids. This three-hour route allows rafters some excitement, as well as quiet stretches to appreciate the scenery of Boise National Forest. A unique travel option is to take the Thunder Mountain Railroad to the launch point at Cabarton Bridge.
