Fun, family whitewater adjacent to Glacier National Park! Depending on the river flow, this trip will take 2½ to 4 hours with nine major rapids including Tunnel, Jaws, C.B.T., and Pumphouse. Watch for Glacier Raft Photography as you come around the bend at Bonecrusher! You’ll see the magnificent scenery in the eight-mile long John Stevens Canyon as you enjoy the rush of the Flathead’s Class II to IV rapids with a breathtaking backdrop of Glacier National Park. Cliff walls restrict the river to a narrow channel as it descends over rock ledges. Deer elk, bear and a host of smaller animals are often seen near the river.
With a choice of six departures throughout the summer rafting season, this is a great family adventure that will fit easily into any vacation schedule. You’ll be able to see exactly where Meryl Streep guided her family on the river in the exciting Universal film “The River Wild”.
In a country where so many great rivers are dammed and their flow regulated by government rather than nature, there’s a special magic about the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, part of the nation’s Wild and Scenic River System, and all its natural free-flowing splendor. Forming the southern border of Glacier National Park, the Middle Fork is one of Montana’s most protected rivers.
