CLASS III-IV     14 miles
 
(...)You guys are asking for problems! This stretch of Sunday creek is choked with logs and is NOT a run. Just read the AWA info on it! This site is a dis-service to paddlers every where and your gonna get someone hurt or pissed off when they drive 300 mile to get to some unnavigable stream. Says Nathan Johnson, Montana paddler

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The natural beauty of Montana and the cool fresh
    water attract people from near and far. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if
you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. This section of Sunday Creek in Flathead County is 14 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-IV section of whitewater. This is the only paddling stretch along Sunday Creek. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for that around here.
