Lincoln county, Foundation Creek to Tobacco River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     18 miles
  This section of Grave Creek in Lincoln County is 18 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Montana and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. The Foundation Creek to Tobacco River stretch is the only paddling stretch
    along Grave Creek. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. Whether you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came.
