You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Whitebird to
    Fireman's Point section is one of them. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. The average Montana whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends
to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners.
