| The Canoeing House can help individuals
and groups plan canoe camping trips. The staff at the Canoeing House orients
canoers to the water. Including a guide in your plans may help visitors
better understand the water to be floated including launch areas, camp
sites, and landing access. For day trips, visitors often park at
the Canoeing House, so their vehicles are safe and secure while they are
on the water. Shuttle service is available for those with their own canoes
or those renting canoes from the Canoeing
House.
The Headwaters area has numerous access sites on all the rivers for camping canoeists. Montana State Law gives floaters high water access rights, which allows confortable, safe river travel. |
