The lakes and rivers of Idaho are great places to enjoy the outdoors. Each river and lake is so different from the other, whether you are fishing, rafting, or just boating around, you will not be disappointed by the great variety of places to have fun on the water. From great trout fishing on the Big and Little Wood Rivers to exciting whitewater on the Payette and Snake Rivers, Idaho's lakes and rivers offer a multitude of activities. And with such easy access from the Sun Valley area to these wonderful places, the only difficulty you will have will be choosing where to spend your day boating, fishing, or rafting.
