Whitewater Rafting on the Alberton Gorge !

Whitewater rafting the Clark Fork River’s Alberton Gorge is our specialty. It’s our home river, and, not coincidentally, home to some of Montana’s greatest whitewater and river canyon scenery. We are based right on the river at the Alberton Gorge Ranch. The Montana River Guides Retail Shop convenient location allows guests to check in  and get geared up with their guide. Then it’s a short walk over to the boat ramp to start the trip.  If you’re staying near Coeur d’Lane or Missoula, come on out for a river adventure on one our Alberton Gorge raft trips!

The Alberton Gorge is a hidden gem among the many Crown Jewels of outdoor beauty across Montana. There are raft trips available near Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. But the summer tourist crowds can intrude on your sense of adventure and discovery sometimes.  We are located off the beaten path in Mineral County Montana, near the small town of Alberton.  No stop lights, no box stores, just two bars and a grocery store on the main street in town. It’s a piece of real Montana surrounded by National Forest and state land with plenty of wildlife and space to roam. So if you find us, you are going to discover a special part of real Montana.

Alberton Gorge Whitewater Raft Trips are our specialty at Montana River Guides. We're the Gorge's leading outfitter with a riverside shop and headquarters, professional guides and gear running trips every day all summer. The Gorge is the premium whitewater run in Montana with rollicking Class II.III and IV rapids and absolutely stunning canyon scenery.  In between rapids you and your guests will enjoy the spectacular surroundings and watch for eagles, osprey, kingfishers, moose, deer, bear and mountain lions. The Gorge is a great family float. Younger kids (ages 6 and up) and older folks can ride in bigger rafts for a milder float while people who want a wilder ride will go in smaller paddle rafts. After running legendary rapids like Cliffside, Tumbleweed and Fang, guests can swim, relax and soak up the sun and scenery.

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!
