Alberton Gorge on the Clark Fork River Montana

Montana White Water Rafting On The Alberton Gorge Of The Clark Fork

Montana Rafting? Yep.

This is the big one around our neck of the woods, the Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork. It’s a 13 mile trip with 12 big rapids. You can tell just by the names- Tumbleweed, Boat Eater, and our personal favorite, Fang- this trip’s going to get you wet!

What To Expect

The Clark Fork is big in the spring and technical in the summer. We do a lot of swimming, surfing, and playing around while we’re out there. You should come with us. It’s a blast.

Family Trips On The Lower Alberton Gorge

Are you more interested in “mild” than “wild”? You should try the lower gorge. This is a fun float with beautiful scenery, and you won’t even get wet! We’ll talk about history, geology, wildlife, and whatever else comes to mind. Bring your group along, and let’s go rafting!

Something For Everyone

A lot of groups we meet are split- some people want mild, some want wild. We’re the only outfitter that will deliver both for your group. Just tell us what you’re looking for- we’ll make it happen.

A Little Bit Of History

The Clark Fork was named after, you guessed it, William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame. The party didn’t ever reach this stretch of river, but tons of old west lore springs form the canyon walls.

Long before those guys (or any guys, or girls) made it through the area, there were other residents: Glaciers. Giant mountains of ice and the great Glacial Lake Missoula shaped the very gorge we go rafting in today, and we’ll study the scars left behind on this trip.

Montana History

Your trip will include the history of this magnificent river mixed generously with great tall tales based on the artifacts along the river. The Clark Fork River was named for Captain Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expeditions. While no one from the expeditions actually explored this portion of the river the history of the old west starts here and continues as the river becomes involved as a major player in the development of settling the west.

short description of the photo

Come learn about the very rare geological wonders of Glacial Lake Missoula. Before the Clark Fork River the great Montana Glaciers existed. What part did they play in developing some much of the geological history of the entire west. Come see parts of the old floor of the famous lake and the very rare rocks of the purple canyon walls.

We have so much to share and so much fun to create. Please bring your family and friends and join our family on the river.

Lower Alberton Gorge Scenic Trip

A nine mile run with three small easy rapids. This is just enough thrills for those who are too young or not interested in getting wet. It is also the perfect length to keep the smaller children occupied while the thrill seekers run the “Gorge.” This trip can be run in succession with the “Gorge” and is a perfect alternative for large groups who have several needs to be met. The scenery is magnificent and wildlife viewing and birding is abundant.

On a full day trip we will stop at a sandy beach for our special three course lunch. There are several interesting areas for the younger children to play at, and of course river swimming is always available.
