Blackfoot River Rafting Trips

Offering Montana’s best family whitewater  in May and June, the Blackfoot River is an incredibly beautiful glacial stream offering at least 66 miles of float-able water. It provides outstanding rafting, fantastic scenery and excellent solid class II and III whitewater.
