(...)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
Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Montana is often easier than elsewhere, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. The nature scenery of Montana and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. Since
you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other spots. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. You might have to settle
for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
