Take Out

Graves Creek is a medium-sized whitewater stream in Flathead County, Montana, classified as a Stream Order 4 river system. This take-out site provides access on a headwater stream with a notable gradient of 13 feet per mile, making it suitable for whitewater paddling activities. The creek drains a 52-square-mile watershed and maintains an average flow of about 50 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 1.19 feet per second, indicating moving water conditions typical of whitewater runs.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for moderately fast current and the inherent hazards of whitewater creek paddling. The elevation drop from source to this location is significant relative to the creek's 17.31-mile total length, contributing to the steeper gradient. This is a genuine whitewater access point rather than a flatwater venue, so participants should have appropriate skill and equipment for creek boating.

No specific amenities information is available in the provided data, so paddlers should plan accordingly and contact local authorities or outfitters for details about parking, facilities, and current access conditions at this Flathead County location.
