About This Access Site
Mill Creek is a medium-sized river in Missoula County, Montana, flowing through mountainous terrain with a notable gradient of 13.9 feet per mile. This put-in point provides access to a section of stream that averages about 1.28 feet per second with moderate flow around 91 cubic feet per second. The creek originates in the headwaters and drains a 118 square mile watershed, featuring approximately 195 feet of total elevation drop over its 14-mile length. Paddlers should be prepared for faster-moving water typical of intermediate whitewater sections, with conditions influenced by seasonal snowmelt and rainfall patterns affecting the regional drainage.
