June Kid Paddle With Good But Low Flow
| Reporter | Kevin Colburn |
| Gauge Reading | 370 cfs at Belt Creek near Monarch MT |
| Flow | Low Flow |
Chris Ennis and I paddled from Monarch down with our kids on a nice sunny June day. Flows were low but pretty ideal for the kids, and still fun in a canoe and packrafts, with minimal scraping. There were a couple log jams in the first few braided miles that were a bit sketchy but we navigated past them without issue. The trip took us just shy of 4 hours with a short lunch stop and some pretty active paddling. The kids had a great trip, though putting in at Logging Creek probably would have made for a more ideal length for them.
