The North Fork Fish Creek to Clark Fork River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Fish Creek. This is a somewhat short section so better bring some good walking shoes. This stretch of Fish Creek in Mineral County is 2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. 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. There's camping available near Fish Creek. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.
