I've got my sights set on doing a float trip next summer.
Ideally, I'll get my number called in the Smith River lottery.
If not, I'm working on some back up plans. One of which is
the Flathead River in Montana.
I'm considering the North Fork and the main line of the Flathead.
The main line of the river goes from the confluence of the North & Middle Forks
to Flathead Lake. It looks like a beautiful stretch of river, but looking
on maps it seems to be within spitting distance of highway 2 and
within the city boundaries of Kalispell.
I'm wondering if anyone has floated this stretch and if there is camping
available along the river between Blankenship Bridge and
Flathead Lake?
