Montana hosts some great whitewater to fit any ability level. The rivers of Montana are not well known for the Class V+ thrill rides of Colorado and Idaho, but for those interested in the more subdued pleasures of calmer water and absorbing the surrounding landscape between roiling whitewater, the rivers of the Treasure State await discovery by kayaking and canoeing trips. more info

From Montana's snowy peaks and the Yellowstone plateau, pristine waters converge and flow through spectacular canyons and valleys. Class II-III rapids in Glacier National Park's Flathead River offer thrills and excitement for whitewater kayaking with Bonecrusher, Jaws and Pinball Rapids. The Gallatin River and the 25 miles stretch of the Yellowstone River also deliver some serious white-knuckle action. The Missouri River presents a more relaxing multi-day canoe trip that retraces Lewis and Clark's route in 34-foot voyageur canoes. And for those anxious for a full-on wilderness retreat, the 149-mile corridor of the Upper Missouri penetrates into the remote, wild Missouri Breaks, where you are more likely to spot mule deer, bald eagles, and bighorn sheep than fellow paddlers.
Big Sky Country offers some of the most exciting whitewater and scenic river trips in the nation. These were the inspiring and intimidating landscapes that lured and often thwarted some of the west's earliest white explores, beginning with Lewis and Clark in 1805. The rivers still echo with a rich history, beginning with the native peoples who fished and camped here and continuing through the years to include trappers, prospectors, settlers, dam-builders, pioneering whitewater boaters, and many others. You can explore Montana's rivers in many ways, guides offer a variety of trips on driftboats, rafts, kayaks and canoes. Or rent a boat yourself and explore Montana's pristine waterways.
