Pipeline Wave on Lochsa
Kooskia, Idaho
Kayak
Idaho's Lochsa River is a classic Idaho roadside run, running big and fast in the springtime with lots of juicy holes and wide open wave trains that are guaranteed to entertain. Lochsa is a Flathead Indian word which means 'rough water', an apt description for this continuous, action-packed river. The Lochsa is also loaded with great playspots; huge surf waves abound on the upper section, while the lower Lochsa has Pipeline, one of the best roadside play waves in the lower forty-eight.
