About this water
The South Fork Payette River is a classic pool-drop river cooperatively managed by the BLM and Boise National Forest. The Confluence recreation site is just downstream from the confluence of the Middle Fork and South Fork Payette Rivers. This site serves as a take-out point for boaters floating the Class II "Swirley Canyon" section or as a put-in for boaters tackling the Class IV "Staircase" section. The facilities include a gravel boat ramp and parking area, information kiosk, and vault toilet. This is a fee parking area - $5.00/day or $30.00 season pass for the Boise National Forest Annual Day Use Pass. Day passes are available on-site.Purchase online Boise National Forest Annual Day Use PassPayette River Maps (Boater's Guide)
