Self-Guided Rafting

Be captain of your own ship! Self-Guided trips are a great way to go if you’re looking to stick to your own schedule, or no schedule at all. From Glacier Outdoor Center an experienced guide will help you shuttle your vehicle to the take out then he’ll drop you, your group, and the river craft(s) of your choice at the river access in West Glacier. Before departing you’ll receive some paddling instruction, a description of the stretch you’ll be traveling, and some detailed safety info. You’ll be able to explore an alluring 10-mile section of the Middle Fork of the Flathead at your own pace before arriving at the take out and your vehicle.

(Price is per craft, per day, includes brief instruction, shuttle and equipment rental. A $25 fee applies if you cannot return boats.)

Self-Guided Trips depart at 8:30am and noon.
