Montana whitewater - Big Timber Creek, Crazy Mountains, Sweet Grass County
Sweet Grass
county,
Close to Half Moon Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 1 miles
The natural beauty of Sweet Grass County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. The beautiful Crazy Mountains scenery is an added bonus. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
This section of Big Timber Creek in Sweet Grass County is 1 miles long and has been rated as a class V section by American Whitewater. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier
to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. This is an extremely short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Big Timber Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Close to Half Moon Campground stretch is the only one.
