Full description
Enjoy an exciting half-day Glacier National Park whitewater rafting trip on the middle fork section of the Flathead River. Manoeuvre the raft through 9 different rapids by following the simple paddle commands of the guide. The trip winds about 8 miles through the John F. Stevens Canyon. The rapids are rated class 2 and 3, making for a fun and splashy family-friendly whitewater rafting adventure. Arrive 30 minutes prior to departure and check-in at the office before meeting your friendly river guides. Leave your belongings in your car and your car keys for you at the front desk. Next, take a short 10-minute bus ride to the river. Your guide will launch the boat there, give you safety instructions, and you'll begin floating down the beautiful river. The journey starts on a 4-mile mellow section of the river, giving you plenty of time to learn to paddle and to adjust to being on the water. The rapids come on the second 4 miles of the trip and photographs of each boat are taken in the rapid named Bonecrusher. The raft will stop periodically to let you jump in and experience a dip in glacial water if you choose. You'll float under Glacier National Park's historic Belton Bridge towards the end of the trip. At the end of the trip, it's a short walk back from the river to the local partner's office in the village of West Glacier. The length of the trip depends on the river flow. In June through early July, it lasts about 2.5 hours, from mid-July to early August, about 3 hours, and from mid-August through the end of the season, approximately 3.5 hours. Safety and fun are the top priorities. Guides undergo training in river rescue techniques, first aid, and more. Many guides return year after year. If conditions call for wetsuits, fleece, and river shoes, or if you would prefer to wear splash gear, it is always available at no extra cost. Helmets and life jackets are mandatory and provided.

  • Helmets and life jackets
  • Cold weather gear if under 70 degrees; booties are $5 once wetsuits are no longer required

We enjoyed the day. We all would have loved time to play on the edge of the river and maybe do some jumping off rocks. But those were not apart of what they offered. The ride and education Ava gave us was a great experience and we will definitely raft again.

Our guide Jake was AMAZING! He was a wealth of knowledge about birds, fish, and the park. He was engaging and funny - if / when we go back we all want to do an overnight with him. The rafting trip gives you a whole different view of the park - well worth your time and money.

We had a fantastic time! Mindy was our guide and she was knowledgeable sharing information about the area. She also did a great job calling out queues to our group. I would highly recommend upgrading to the sports boat and would definitely do the trip again, so fun!
