Tips from locals
Excellent Spring Hiking Trail. Rapid River Trail #177 is located in the Wild and Scenic Rapid River Corridor, one of the first rivers in Idaho to gain this designation, on the northern edge of the Payette National Forest. The absence of roads and other development has helped keep this river one of the clearest and cleanest in the area. Chances are good you will encounter poison ivy on this trail, which is a waxy, three leaved plant with leaves like inverted tear drops. The 14 mile trail follows the Rapid River from Lick Creek Lookout on the south end to the border of the Nez Perce Forest on the north end. Keep an eye out for rare Pacific Yew trees.
