Rafting in Montana

Highlights

Discover Montana's Wild Big Belt Mountains on the Smith River.

Leaving civilization behind, this 60-mile rafting adventure descends a stunning limestone canyon in Montana's Big Belt Mountains. The Smith River is the only river in Montana where all river travelers must have a permit, and for good reason. The scenery, fishing, birding, archeology, geology and history are arguably some of the best in the lower forty-eight states. While meandering the curves and eddies of the Smith, we will discuss the adventures of Lewis and Clark and the history of the Blackfeet Indians, both of whom sought sustenance in the Smith River ecosystem. Whether you are a birder spotting some of Montana's finest fowl or an angler pulling in a brown trout, the Smith River is an adventure of a lifetime.

The age on raft trips varies depending on the water level. Early season it is 10 years and older. By late in the season Glacier Wilderness Guides will take children down to 6 years old. Contact Glacier Wilderness Guides for more information.
