Overview

Lochsa means "Rough Water" in Native American languages and is pronounced "Lock saw". This Class III and Class IV+ whitewater river is located in North Central Idaho's Clearwater National Forest. A green cedar and fir forest with steep granite valley slopes and abundant wildlife, the river corridor itself gets exciting during the spring snow run-off. From its headwaters in the Bitterroot Mountains to its confluence with the Selway and Clearwater rivers, the Lochsa has more than 40 major rapids.
