Scenic Raft Trips on the Clark Fork River.
Clark Fork River Rafting is a perfect choice for relaxing, birdwatching, enjoying the mountain scenery, and family float trips. Brimming with wildlife and steeped in history, the serpentine Clark Fork River winds its way west from the Anaconda Pintler Mountain Range through western Montana toward Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho. Bald eagles, hawks, mergansers, white tail deer and even moose can be seen along the Clark Fork, which is as thick with history as it is with wildlife.
Ancestral home to the Salish Indians, the Clark Fork receives the Bitterroot and Blackfoot Rivers in Missoula before flowing west towards the mighty Alberton Gorge. These rivers carve a path followed by Lewis and Clark as well as the Nez Perce’ Indians in their tragic 1877 journey. We’ll customize the trip for your schedule and group. There are a variety of sections perfect for Clark Fork River Rafting near Missoula. We often float the Tarkio Canyon near Alberton for its pristine canyon scenery. We also float sections right in Missoula and near St Regis, Montana.
Bring Your Kids! These scenic raft trips are a perfect opportunity to get the young ones out on the water to experience Montana river rafting! Find out more about bringing your kids’ rafting below!
We have taken many rafting trips over the years and hands down this was one of the best ones yet!!! We took a private full day rafting tour with river side picnic and couldn’t have had a better time!! Our guide set up the best lunch spread at the waterside including fresh fruit and veggie trays, salad, sandwiches, chips/salsa, and the best homemade cookies!!! We had many stops, chances to swim, small cliff jumping, and the most beautiful scenery!!! Shout out to Amy as being the most fun guide to our crazy “Billy Goat Cyrus” group from Texas!!! Request her and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Our Montana River Guide trip down the Clark Fork was the highlight to our Montana vacation. Our guide let us paddle some while we were going thru the rapids which was an awesome experience. Weather and sun on the morning trip made for some great pictures.

We did a scenic float with our young kids. This was the absolute best thing we did our whole trip! So beautiful, so much fun. Amy was our guide and she was incredibly fun, knowledgable and kind. Cannot wait to float with them again!

There were three of us over 60 year old gals on our trip. Our guide, Jack, was outstanding. We felt safe and secure under his care the whole time while having the time of our lives. The beautiful scenery and wildlife were a bonus to the incredible river with its rapids along with calm areas to relax & enjoy the ride. Top on my list of the other incredible things we did this summer.

One of the best experience in the US was spending our Sunday with Montana River Guides! The crew was able to accommodate to over 60 of us on the YSEALI alumni tour and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our time on the river - Whitewater Rafting or Scenic Tour. Guides are 100% professionals who have fun with safety in mind. Highly recommend and must visit when you're in Montana. Thanks for the memories!
