Going to put on in IK's in about two hours. Belt creek is roaring. Non-stop rain for a week. Putting in at neihart taking out somewhere before the lazy doe. Scouted last night on the way back to great falls from floating the galltain. One huge strainer lodged in footings of old bridge. Says Ryan
The wonderful Cascade County scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Montana are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers
here are not as hard as elsewhere. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Whitewater paddling here in the Little Belt Mountains is a great experience. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
This section of Belt Creek in Cascade County is 19 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. The Sec 15 to Monarch section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do
book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
