About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater put-in access site located on the Blackfoot River in Powell County, Montana. This site serves as an entry point for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the Blackfoot, a popular river for kayaking and canoeing in western Montana. The Blackfoot River is known for its scenic canyon sections and moderately challenging whitewater, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers depending on water levels and the specific section being run.

The access point provides a convenient launching location for boaters planning to paddle downstream sections of the river. Given the whitewater nature of this put-in, paddlers should be prepared with appropriate skill levels and safety equipment. Water conditions on the Blackfoot can vary significantly based on seasonal runoff and recent precipitation, so checking current flow rates and conditions before launching is recommended. The river offers a mix of scenic beauty and technical paddling opportunities throughout its course.
