Wild River Adventures is the only outfitter in the Glacier National Park area that can offer whitewater rafting and horseback riding with one stop convenience. These trips combine the best outdoor activities in Glacier Country into one full day of fun!

We have teamed up with our neighbors-the Flying Eagle Ranch-to make these unique trips possible. The wranglers at Flying Eagle will lead your family on a 2-hour journey through beautiful spruce forests and wide-open meadows with great views of the Park and the Great Bear Wilderness Area. Their horses are well trained and are experienced with riders of all ability levels.

After meeting at Wild River Headquarters at 1:30, the fun continues with a 3-4 hour Whitewater Raft Adventure. All of our trips begin with whitewater rafting instruction from our experienced guides. We are an industry leader and guarantee state of the art self-bailing rafts to insure a more comfortable ride.

After a few gentle miles, our river narrows down and enters a beautiful canyon with fantastic rapids like Jaws, Pinball, and Screaming Right Turn. These are some of the best rapids in Montana and provide whitewater excitement all summer long. It's the perfect way to wash off some trail dust and escape from the afternoon heat!
