This stretch along the Blackfoot River is a very busy spot in the summer for rafting, kayaking, or tubing take-outs and/or put-ins, as well as a recreational area for those just hanging out on the beach by the water to enjoy the coolness and beauty of this gorgeous river.
 
A little bit of history connected with the Blackfoot River is that this area was traveled by Meriwether Lewis "of Lewis & Clark", with his party in 1806 as they headed back home. They camped along the river as they headed north and encountered a dangerous meeting with the Blackfoot Indians before eventually turning east to head towards the Missouri River. 
 
This is also the river that the movie "A River Runs Through It" was written about. It was actually not filmed along the Blackfoot in the movie but this is the river that the story was based on.
