Staircase (Confluence Recreation Site to Banks River Access)
The South Fork Payette River is a classic pool-drop river.
Deer Creek launch is a main put-in spot for the Class III-IV, "Staircase" section of the South Fork Payette River. many boaters will launch here to avoid the three miles of calm water from the Confluence Site. The site is essentially a very broad gravel area adjacent to the Banks-Lowman Highway.
The facilities include a steep, steel and wood boat ramp, portable toilet, and information kiosk.
This is a fee parking area
