Montana whitewater - Bear Creek, Lewis Range, unknown County
Trailside section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 2 miles
The scenic beauty of Montana and the playfulness of the water beats anything. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other spots for that. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The beauty of the Lewis
Range is a great plus for this river. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The Trailside stretch of Bear Creek in Montana is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV-V section. Not too many hotels nearby,
you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is the only paddling stretch along Bear Creek.
