Briefly about the general area:
Looking for some flowing water? Try Deep Creek; get your heart pumping on the good whitewater of Jarbidge. You just can't imagine the amount
of outdoors exciting stuff the area in the neighborhood of Diamond Trail has to offer. Scott Table is a pleasant place to stretch your legs a bit; you can stay the night at Gold Creek Public Campgrounds.
Put some time aside to spend at Jim Bob Spring while you're here at Diamond
Trail, and getting to Deep Creek from Diamond Trail is easy. Government Spring is always fun to check out, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Bruneau River - West Fork. You're sure to stumble upon some good folks from Elko here,
and Hole in the Ground is a magnificent site to have a look at.
Big Bend Campground is a glorious campground here, and a pleasant tour to Taylor Pocket is a glorious way to spend an afternoon.
