Montana whitewater - Beaverhead, Madison County

Madison county, Clark Canyon Dam to Dillon section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     21 miles
  The wonderful Montana scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. 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. If you
    have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your sleeping bag. The Clark Canyon Dam to Dillon section is the only paddling section along Beaverhead. The Clark Canyon Dam to Dillon stretch of Beaverhead is 21 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class
I-III section of whitewater. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
