Devils Pinball Rapid

Devils Pinball Rapid is a series of Class II-III rapids located on the South Fork Owyhee River just below the Paiute El Paso pipeline launch site in Nevada, offering continuous whitewater suitable for rafts and kayaks at flows between 1,000-6,000 cfs.

The rapid extends for several miles with fun, manageable drops mixed with scenic canyon sections, making it an accessible introduction to the upper Owyhee before more difficult Class IV-V rapids downstream.

Access is via rough 4WD roads along the pipeline; trailers are not recommended due to difficult road conditions.
