Rivers

Montana is a headwater state. Pristine waters grow from unnamed trickles and springs to celebrated rivers like the Missouri, Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Clark Fork, Flathead and Big Hole. From these legendary rivers Montana offers some of the most exciting whitewater rafting and scenic river trips in the nation. Experience the thrill of whitewater on a raft trip down the Alberton Gorge, near Missoula, or the tranquil beauty of the scenic and remote Upper Missouri, near Fort Benton, as you quietly paddle your canoe into the sunset. Montana rivers offer a wide variety of activities. Outfitters and guides are available to help plan your river adventure.
