Don't get me wrong, Glacier National Park is home to the rushing Flathead River with all its may tributaries with amazing scenery and great whitewater. Trips down the river's whitewater rapids are an exhilarating and fun way to spend your Montana vacation, but the whitewater doesn't last long. 

If you want to raft in Glacier National Park, These are the places:

Upper Middle Fork of the Flathead River
Head into the middle of the 3 million acre Bob Marshall Wilderness for the trip of a lifetime. It is an amazing experience just getting to this area of Glacier National Park because it is only accessible by air, horseback or on foot. The area is also teeming with Montana wildlife. Don't forget your camera!

Middle Fork of the Flathead River
The Middle Fork goes right along the southeastern edge of the park. The peaks are spectacular backdrops to every scene in this area of Glacier. Spring and early summer are peak season for whitewater, with Class III IV rapids. Later in the season they slow down to Class II  III teeming with cutthroat trout.

North Fork of the Flathead River
This northern fork of the Flathead is mellow, with Class I II rapids, but still worth the trip. This area of the park has pristine wilderness with elk, grizzly bears, eagles, and moose as permanent residents. Amazing peaks and diverse fishing can also be found in this part of Glacier. Catch a cutthroat, lake or rainbow trout or a delicious whitefish!
