BOISE, Idaho (Jan. 5, 2026)—With more navigable whitewater miles than any other state in the Lower 48, Visit Idaho is making waves with “The 3100™”—a new feature-length documentary and six-part docuseries that further cements Idaho as a top-tier whitewater destination. The film project gives viewers a front-row seat to the power, beauty, cultural significance and transformative qualities of the rivers while also offering an intimate look at the people and places shaped by these wild waterways.
Together, the film and series explore the Selway, Bruneau, Salmon, Snake, Payette, Lochsa and St. Joe rivers—each offering a distinct mix of challenge, scenery and experience. The documentary offers a cinematic look through the seasons of Idaho's premier whitewater recreation opportunities, spanning rafting, kayaking and jet boat tours. It reveals the stunning scenery and adrenaline-infused adventure found on the state's legendary whitewater rivers.
The six-part docuseries, streaming on YouTube with over 4.1 million views to date, dives deeper into each whitewater experience, further highlighting the jaw-dropping diversity of Idaho whitewater opportunities.
“This is the most ambitious storytelling project Visit Idaho has ever taken on,” said Natalie Jushinski, Tourism Manager for Visit Idaho. “We created 'The 3100' to go beyond traditional tourism promotions and put viewers directly into the state's whitewater experiences exactly as they are—raw, powerful and unforgettable. With a mix of heart-pounding adventure and authentic narratives, 'The 3100' will resonate with travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, cinephiles or anyone seeking deeper knowledge of the Idaho whitewater experience.”
“The 3100” is an official selection of multiple festivals and continues to earn recognition domestically and internationally.
