The wild and scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead is one of the great, wild rivers of the West. We offer you a choice of 2 or 3 day trips complete with all river gear, meals, and shuttle service.
Our experienced river guides know the river intimately, assuring you an exciting ride through some of Montana's wildest whitewater rapids. You'll thrill to the excitement of a deep roar and the joyous screams from the preceding boats as you challenge the river at every drop.
The river will carry you along between two great mountain ranges, with the Great Bear Wilderness on one side of the canyon and the lofty summits of Glacier Park on the other. Truly unspoiled, the region teems with fish and wildlife of all kinds.
We'll see to your comforts and prepare meals fit for a king. With the river at your feet and a blanket of stars over your head, you'll begin and end your days to the timeless sounds of the river.

DAY 1:
Meet your group and enjoy our generous complimentary continental breakfast. This is also the time for check-in, rental of river gear, orientation, and any last minute packing. The morning float includes some great whitewater rapids ranging from Class II to Class IV. Your guide will stop along the river to give you a chance to relax while we prepare a delicious lunch.
There is often time to take a short walk along the river, stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. The scenic float continues, carrying you through canyons and past ancient forests in a landscape that remains pristine and undeveloped. We set up camp early in the evening. A generous full course dinner is prepared by your guides. Montana days are long, and the evenings seem to last forever. Be prepared for short hikes or beach volleyball. When the stars come out, songs and stories around the campfire bring the day to a memorable close.
DAY 2:
In the morning, the emphasis is on scenery as we traverse the southern boundary of Glacier National Park. We often see animals and waterfowl in this stretch.
DAY 3:
Awake to the sound of the river and cozy up to the morning fire with a strong cup of coffee. After another hearty breakfast, the rafts will be loaded and the river will sweep you away to another day of wilderness adventure. The water is calmer with fewer rapids as we travel into another scenic portion of the trip.
You may want to swim, relax, or just take in the sights and sounds of the canyon. The afternoon float brings us to the West Glacier area. We arrive back at the Great Northern Resort around 4:00 p.m. Please let us know of any travel connections well in advance.
