The North Fork of the Owyhee River is a tributary of the Owyhee River and is located in Malheur County, Oregon, and Owyhee County, Idaho. Its source is on the east flank of the Owyhee Mountains in Idaho, and it flows generally southwest to meet the main stem Owyhee at Three Forks, Oregon. The nine-mile (14.5 km) segment in Oregon, which flows from the Idaho-Oregon border to the main stem Owyhee River, was designated in 1988 and classified as "wild." The North Fork flows through a deep canyon rimmed with basalt. Boating opportunities and activities are supported by high water flow
