Scenic Float on the Clark Fork
The Clark Fork in Montana is a big volume river and one of the largest rivers in Montana because of its confluence with the Blackfoot River and Bitterroot River in Missoula.* In May and June the “Gorge” is a time for big walls of water, huge hits, the rugged sheer pleasure of adrenaline, and a powerful adventure on a class IV river.
- Out of this world Montana Scenery.
- Great Class III rapids in May and June.
- Fun Class I rapids in July.
- Eagle nests right on the river.
- History and stories.
Blackfoot River Trips
The Blackfoot River in Montana is “the most beautiful river valley I have seen thus far” as quoted by Meriwether Lewis 200 years ago. The river remains one of the most beautiful in the West, and was the subject of the famous movie, “A River Runs Through It.” Rafting is best done in the spring and early summer because of the very low volume. By mid July the low water level makes it too rocky for safe navigation.
Both rivers are filled with adventure, beauty, birds of prey, wildlife, history and unusual scenery. The Blackfoot adventure is more scenic and relaxing, while the Alberton Gorge is thrills and spills. You choose your adventure.
