Montana Creek

Ran the section from the first landslide down to the park bench.

Short section, perhaps 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile long.

Plenty of wood in the river but able to easily avoid all but one section upstream of the bridge.

If you decide to run this, anything above 11.5ft is good to go. Just scout as you walk up from the bridge. You can put in much higher along the road. There is a complete log jam across the river that looks like a lowhead dam, while there is a decent recirculation, as long as you get enough speed and hit it nose first, you will go over the boil pool.

When the river is up the muddy water obscures the twisted roots hiding along the banks. If you swim, keep that in mind as there are plenty of entrapments that are not so obvious.

Solid class III at 600cfs that you can lap and have a great time on.

600 cfs is really the minimum flow for this run. Only one mandatory portage, strainer, about halfway to the end of the road.

Pleasingly plump.
