DIY Day Trip – Carter to Fort Benton

Are you looking to relax and navigate your own trip down river? This is the perfect package for you! Carter to Fort Benton is a easy 3-5-hour trip. The time you spend on the river depends on how much you paddle, weather, and river levels. This section is full of beautiful cottonwood growth, islands, and working farmland. Floating this section allows you to enjoy your time on the Missouri River while you get acquainted with paddling. There are no rapids and only one way to go, down.
