county,
along Mill Creek Road into Frenchtown section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 2 miles
The starting location is a short drive from Missoula, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The along Mill Creek Road into Frenchtown stretch of Mill Creek is 2 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Montana are often more forgiving than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the
night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The along Mill Creek Road into Frenchtown stretch is the only paddling stretch along Mill Creek. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. Great exercise and a chance to spend some
time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. The scenic beauty of Missoula County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
