Superior county, Canyon Section section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     2 miles
  This stretch of Trout Creek in Superior County is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V section. The wonderful Montana scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. If you're coming from Missoula it's not a long drive at all to the starting location. This is the only paddling stretch along Trout Creek. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book
    a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that a large number of rivers
in this state are quite easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling rivers. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The beauty of the Bitterroot Range is a great plus for this river. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for  
a while are great attractions for lots of people.

Briefly about the general area:
The Trout Creek Stock Driveway is a nice hiking trail close to Trout Creek, and you could always explore Idaho Gulch. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Bitterroot Range. There is a great hiking trail in the neighborhood of Trout Creek called the Cedar Creek Stock Driveway, and you'll most likely meet some people from Superior here. This river is so good. At Trout Creek you don’t see much rainfall. Throughout the month of January you get the most snow around here while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
