These are scenic flat-water sections (no whitewater, but a few splashes). Trip float starts in East Missoula at Sha-Ron river access or at Weigh Station on the Blackfoot River. Boat flows through the confluence of the Blackfoot & the Clark Fork River through Hellgate Canyon. Trip meanders by the University of Montana and through Brennan’s wave downtown by Cara's Park. River trip ends at Silver Park near the Osprey Baseball Stadium downtown Missoula!
Maybe you’ve already had a rad Missoula day and now you’re ready for a dreamy evening on the river? Reserve online and pick your brews. Drink, laugh, snack on delicious local offerings and meet new people!

FAQs
Can kids come?
Absolutely! We love having kids along on the trip. Make sure you let us know their weights so we can make sure we have the appropriate life jackets. Also, let us know what they would like to drink (soda, juice, lemonade, root beer, etc). You can add this during the online reservation and waiver process.
Are life jackets provided?
Yes. Type III life jackets are provided and mandatory for the duration of the trip. Think of it as a seat belt when you drive across town.
What should I wear?
Your feet may get wet so sandals are best. Dress appropriately for the day’s weather. Bring sunscreen. We will have water.
Can we bring our own drinks?
Nope! We will bring water and drinks that you choose during the reservation and waiver process. No other drinks are allowed.
Is this going to be super fun for me?
You betcha.
