Judith

This is a fun two or three day float. No white water. It is remote. Once you get started you aren't getting out until the bridge near Winifred, a few miles above the Missouri.

Lots of shale breaks. Cottonwood bottoms. Willows. Elk deer bear and the occasional rattlesnake. No white water. There are several barbed wire fences clear across the river. You can go under most of them. Occasionally over top.

Good fishing at the lower end of Warm Springs Creek a few miles below Denton. For rainbow trout and smallmouth bass.

The Putin --
Is it named Anderson Bridge? I don't know. It's on highway 81 East of Denton. There is no public put in that I know of. The land surrounding the highway 81 bridge is all private. The last time I drifted the river the land owner was happy to let us use his farm road to back a drift boat trailer to the river. There is a takeout on a gravel road (and rusty bridge) about two days downstream, a few miles West of Winifred Montana. The Missouri River is only a few miles past the Winifred bridge. But the Missouri takeout is yet another mile or two downstream on the Misso
uri, at Judith Landing on highway 236. It's a two day float from Denton to Winifred. Another half day from Winifred to Judith Landing. Some of this drift is very wild. But about half way down there are some farm roads and hunting cabins. Wild again from Winifred down.

Final note: remote as it is most but not all of the land surrounding the river is privately owned. There is a fair amount of State owned land and BLM land here and there along the river. BLM maps are the best way to know where it is legal to stop and camp. It's not likely any one will ever know you are down there. But if you want to camp legally BLM maps are the way to go. There is a lot of trophy mule deer hunting up at the edges of the breaks, above the river, where giant mule deer hang out on the edges of the grain fields. Those ranchers lease their private land out to hunting outfitters, whose customers tend to chase those big deer down to edges of the river during hunting season. So, during hunting season, if you do camp on private land--that is the one time of year when someone is likely to notice.
