Alberton Gorge, Clark Fork River (Local’s Favorite!)
Venture into the beautiful Alberton Gorge of the historic Clark Fork River, lined with spectacular canyon walls, wildlife, and whitewater. The Alberton Gorge is Missoula’s favorite whitewater run, filled with numerous Class II-III rapids and enough water to last all year round! Early spring this is a big water run with Class IV rapids. Our Crystal Springs headquarters, along the length of the Alberton Gorge, is our base of operations and gives us the advantage of keeping an eye on the river’s action and beauty — right from our doorstep. Meeting all of our clients at Crystal Springs, we also offer the option of post-float barbeques perfect for family get-togethers or company outings. Come visit us for a day of whitewater on the Alberton Gorge, we’re there every day, all summer long!
