Montana river rafting is an opportunity for soggy thrills, quiet paddling, and outrageous scenic views for families and groups. The North and Middle Forks of Flathead River on the border of Glacier National Park stand out as the premier locations in the state, as they can encompass all of those qualities within only a brief distance. There are ample companies offering guided adventures in this unique region of the country.
For those seeking a temporary escape from the never-ending bustle of civilization, Montana river rafting may be the solution. Imagine casually floating down the river through canyons with towering cliffs, blooming wildflowers, and diverse wildlife to the soothing chorus of nature. You may never want to leave!
If you prefer a more challenging outing, there are class II-V rapids to brave on the North and Middle Forks. These boisterous sections of the river will demand help from everyone on board to pass through safely. An experienced guide will happily give instruction. Be sure to wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet, as the crunching waves are sure to introduce themselves to you and the interior of the raft.
Family Fun with Montana River Rafting
Montana river rafting can be a fun activity for families, even those with young children. There are mild sections of Flathead River throughout the year and even more so beyond July that allow for avoiding the rapids altogether. Most rafting companies have minimum ages for children, sometimes as low as five years.
