This stretch of Fish Creek is 2 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Mineral County and the water flowing gracefully down Fish Creek beats anything. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The beautiful Lewis Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. This |

is a pretty short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Fish Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the North Fork Fish Creek to Clark Fork River stretch is the only one. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often
| easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
