Deep Creek carves an extremely meandering, vertical walled canyon to its confluence with the Owyhee River. Deep Creek can be kayaked or canoed in the early spring when flows reach into the hundreds of cubic feet per second from snowmelt. Later in the spring, and again in the fall, Deep Creek provides outstanding hiking and backpacking opportunities.
