Marsh Creek Put In is located in Custer County, Idaho, providing access to a substantial river system classified as a large river with significant whitewater characteristics. The creek drains a 749 square mile watershed and maintains an average flow of approximately 121 cubic feet per second with a notable gradient of 11.2 feet per mile. Paddlers should be aware that this is a whitewater put-in, indicating rapids and swift current conditions are present on this section of water.
With an average velocity of 2.19 feet per second and a gradient that creates continuous current, Marsh Creek is better suited for intermediate to advanced paddlers with whitewater experience. The water body stretches 56.25 miles total length with approximately 632 feet of elevation drop across the accessible watershed. The put-in location sits at approximately 4,520 feet elevation, typical for central Idaho mountain streams.
