The scenic beauty of Montana and the cool fresh water beats anything. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Montana are often easier than in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The Libby to Troy stretch of Kootenai River in Montana is 20 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-IV section. Kootenai River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Libby to Troy stretch is the only one. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep
you coming back for more. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you
won't find a large number of other places. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
