North Fork of the Flathead Whitewater Guide

The North Fork of the Flathead begins at the Canadian border with Montana and flows along the western edge of Glacier National Park, which remains on your left for the entire trip. This Wild and Scenic River offers clear blue water, steady class II riffles with the occasional class III, and wide-open camping ideal for 2–3 day floats. Along the way, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Northern Rockies, excellent fishing, and the chance to stop in Polebridge for fresh baked goods, making it one of Montana’s classic river trips.
