45 Dam Rapid

45 Dam Rapid is a Class II-III rapid located on the South Fork Owyhee River between mile 35-40, situated in a remote wilderness area requiring experienced boaters and proper equipment.

The 45 Ranch launch and takeout site is nearby on private land, requiring landowner permission for access. This section demands caution due to its remoteness and the need for self-sufficiency, as cell service is unreliable and help is far away.
