Glacier National Park Whitewater Rafting Trip 3 hr

Trade the road for the rushing water on a Glacier National Park whitewater rafting trip along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. This half-day outing follows about 8 miles through the dramatic John F. Stevens Canyon, with mountain scenery and nine named rapids along the way.

Meet your guide in West Glacier, get fitted with the necessary gear, then ride a short bus trip to the river. The float begins on a gentler stretch, giving you time to get comfortable and practice paddling before the rapids arrive. Navigate the lively water with your guide or take in the views from the raft. Along the route, hear about the region’s history, wildlife, plants, and river ecology, pass beneath historic Belton Bridge, and look out for photos taken at Bonecrusher rapid. The trip ends in West Glacier, followed by a short bus ride back to the starting point. Rapids are typically Class II–III, though they become milder late in the season. Guides are trained in river rescue and first aid, and helmets are mandatory. Choose this Glacier National Park whitewater rafting trip for an active, scenic way to experience the river; book your spot and get ready to paddle.
