Marble Creek
Calder, Idaho
Camp
Marble Creek can be run all the way from Camp 3 to the confluence with the St. Joe for a 15+ mile day trip; However, the most commonly run section is from the bridge at mile marker 9, to the Marble Creek interpretive center at the confluence. For a condensed version of Marble with nearly non-stop whitewater, put in at Marble Creek Campground (near mile 4 or 5) and take out at the Boulder Creek Bridge. The upper most section of the creek above 9 Mile Bridge is mostly class II-III swift water, with one possible portage around the remains of an old splash dam. While not as exciting as the section below 9 mile, the road is well above the canyon on this stretch, giving it a wild character.
