Dearborn River Paddle

The Dearborn is one of the prettiest in Montana with bright blue pools and rocky cliffs. The water stays pretty cold throughout the year but it is pretty refreshing. The window of time to enjoy this float is small, likely only June and July are good months to attempt it. There aren't any "official" parking spots on either end of this float, but there is plenty of space. The put-in is where the Dearborn intersects highway 200 and the pull-out in on highway 287. You will need two vehicles to coordinate and the drive between is about 15 minutes.
