About

The East Branch Whitefish River runs 29 miles through U.S. Forest Service land as a National Wild & Scenic River and designated water trail. Two main sections define the paddling: from Trout Lake down to East Branch Forest Road 2236, then continuing to the Rapid River Boat Launch. Forest Service management keeps this corridor undeveloped, maintaining the wild character that earned federal protection.
