Scotty Brown Bridge to Johnsrud Park

Mile by mile

• 1Bear Creek RapidsII · RM 36 — Class II on the FWP float map, just upstream of the Bear Creek Flats float-in campsite.
• 2Roundup RapidIII · RM 29.2 — At the Highway 200 bridge by the Roundup access — 'a fun rapid that ranges from a bit technical to rowdy wave trains depending on flow' (American Whitewater). Easily scouted from Highway 200.
• 3Thibodeau RapidII-III · RM 17 — About two miles below Whitaker Bridge — watch for the large rock right-center as the river drops (American Whitewater). Big Sky Fishing calls it the Blackfoot's best-known piece of whitewater with the safest route on the right; FWP's float map grades it Class II. Flow-dependent.
• 4The LedgeII · RM 12.8 — A surf wave a quarter mile above Johnsrud that comes in when spring water is up — parking directly above and across the road, popular for park-and-play laps (American Whitewater).
