?Take on the wild and scenic Gallatin River

Whitewater Rafting

The Gallatin River is a rafter's paradise. The water levels are highest during the spring runoff, with levels lowering as summer progresses. Depending on water levels, rafting can start as early as mid-May and typically ends mid-August.

Full and half day trips are available throughout the summer season. This is a popular activity, and we recommend making reservation in advance.

Preparing for your adventure

Neoprene wetsuits, booties, and life jackets are provided.
In order to ensure the safety of your kids, most have a minimum age requirement around 6 years old. This could differ depending on the severity of the rapids.
Group or private tours are available.
Most raft trips depart between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. every day.
