The Alberton Gorge has class II & III rapids. This is the main put-in to the Alberton Gorge which does not meet any accessibility standards. However, those seeking this experience would have to bring their own assistance/support crew. The main take-out is at the Tarkio FAS. Go to the Tarkio listing for more detailed information.
