Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Montana and the sparkling of the sunlight on
the water beats anything. When you're paddling down a Little Belt Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The Sec 15 to Monarch section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Getting a good workout and spending some quality
time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section of Belt Creek in Cascade County is 19 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around
here you won't find a large number of other spots.
