Missouri

Tailrace Rapids is pretty fun--it is just off of the far right side of the 'Great Falls Mighty MO' photo. Climb down the embankment in the left side of the photo, paddle across the river visible in the lower part of the photo, and enter through the eddy at the bottom of the tailrace. Don't trespass on the Montana Power/dam land--Great Falls boaters have done a pretty good job of maintaining a good relationship with the corporate neighbors--don't ruin it for them! I paddled it last spring at about 6,000cfs, and it was pretty fun. Locals can probably provide better beta; tailrace flows will vary with the amount of power generated. Check in with Bighorn Wilderness Outfitters downtown for good information, too.
