North Fork Flathead River - Rafting Trip

A group sets up camp at the edge of the Flathead River

Multi-Day North Fork Flathead River Rafting

The North Fork of the Flathead River is truly one of Montana’s most stunning streams.

Passing through secluded wilderness, the river is moderately wide and moves quickly. The water, which primarily comes from snow melt, is cold and very clear. The river also has numerous deep, clear pools throughout its length, tucked away among its many twists and turns to explore.

Explore this spectacular area on a two- or three-day rafting expedition. Along the way, you’ll camp and dine under the legendary Montana big sky with help from one of our expert guides.
