Casey Wilcox and I had a fun day in June of 2013 running a fairly good amount of Monture Creek. I'm not sure of the paddling history of the river prior to this run, but we were not aware of any descents. We portaged some wood and the crux (?) bend, but got to run a bunch of fun whitewater in a beautiful little gorge. While a bit of a project with some type-two fun, Monture turned out to be a memorable day and well worth the effort for me. This descent was part of my efforts to document rivers for potential Wild and Scenic designation for American Whitewater, and Monture shined as well worthy of the designation.
