Great Northern Rafting

12127 US Highway 2 · West Glacier, MT

Why you should go…

Great Northern Rafting, part of Great Northern Resort in West Glacier, Montana, has guided river trips on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River along Glacier National Park's southern boundary since 1977. Trips range from half-day scenic floats to full-day and overnight whitewater runs through Class II-III rapids, plus guided fly fishing and horseback rides. The outfitter also runs the Glacier River School for river safety and swiftwater rescue training. Full-day rafting trips are priced at $153 per adult.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
