Missoula Whitewater Raft Trips

Missoula, Montana's whitewater rafting and river trip opportunities are as varied and exciting as anywhere in the world.  The Clark Fork River's Alberton Gorge contains the best whitewater rafting in the state. The Blackfoot River river offers a combination family whitewater and mountain scenery right in Missoula' s backyard.  Flowing through the heart of downtown Missoula, the Clark Fork River now has one of the best surf waves in the world. Brennan's Wave was created by the hard work of local kayakers and the Missoula Whitewater Association in the memory of local friend and world class paddler Brennan Guth. Now kayakers, rafters, and tubers can paddle, surf and play in rapids right downtown. The beautiful Bitterroot River winds north towards Missoula between the Sapphire and Bitterroot Mountain Ranges before it pours into the Clark Fork River at Missoula.  Join us for one of our Missoula river trips and experience Zootown's best summer adventure.
