Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness, River wilderness area in Owyhee County, Idaho.
The Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness spans 89,996 acres of deep canyons, basalt plateaus, and river systems with elevations ranging from 2,600 to 5,100 feet.
The United States Congress established this wilderness through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law in March 2009.
The rivers and canyons serve as traditional hunting grounds, where visitors pursue upland birds and large game while maintaining ecological preservation standards.
Experienced rafters navigate 56 miles of class II to IV rapids from the confluence of Bruneau and Jarbidge Rivers to the southern section of Bruneau.
The wilderness contains populations of California bighorn sheep, river otters, bull trout, and the native Bruneau River flox among its volcanic cliffs.
