Clark Fork River Whitewater – Missoula Wine & Beer Tasting
Whitewater & Wine (or Beer) Tasting Together on One Trip!
Whitewater, Wine & Beer
We created the Clark Fork River whitewater and wine float for the wild at heart and for those that have a heart for all that is wild. Enjoy nature, wine, mouth watering food and whitewater river rafting through the Alberton Gorge. First, we paddle and row through the famous Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork River, home of famous whitewater river rafting. After the last rapid, we install a small table in the middle of the raft, serving food and wine as you sit in the raft, listening to the current and history of the world around you. Swim or float if you want, it’s your trip!
What’s a Whitewater to Wine & Beer Float Like?
All trips on the Clark Fork River meet at Pangaea’s River Store on the Clark Fork River (see directions below). Some of our world famous guides will meet and greet you at your car. After changing into proper river wear, signing waivers, you’ll get fitted for a life jacket and paddle. Once you’re ready to go, the guides will lead you through a brief safety talk before getting into a Pangaea vehicle for a quick 15 minute drive to the Cyr Bridge boat ramp on the Clark Fork River.
On the River
The first half of the whitewater and wine trip starts just like our standard Clark Fork River whitewater trip. You’ll paddle and dash through six major class 3 rapids, a handful of class 2 rapids, and float through just the right amount of easy scenic floating. Along the way, we’ll stop at jump rock, our favorite spot for jumping into the river and get pictured paddling through the Clark Fork River’s famous Tumbleweed.

Stop at Fish Creek
Pangaea’s regular whitewater trips stop beside the crystal clear waters of Fish Creek for a mouth watering lunch. Pangaea river lunch has become somewhat famous over the years: hot baked potatoes, flame seared grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, cheese, bacon bits, fresh watermelon, and home made brownies. You’ll load up a plate, fill up your wine glass, and begin the second part of your trip.
Wine Tasting Like You’ve Never Done Before!
After all the whitewater, we pop the corks and break-out the wine glasses on the last mild and scenic stretch of the river. You’ll trade your paddle for Pangaea’s free gift to you, a stemless “Leave Boring Behind!” wine glass which we’ll fill up multiple times on wine portion of your whitewater to wine trip.
Back at Pangaea
You’ll float all the way back to Pangaea on the river. Once you arrive back, you’ll watch yourself running the biggest rapid of the day on our flat screen TV, retell the exciting stories from you trip, and get ready to do it all again next summer!
Your Guide Makes The Difference
Your guides are highly qualified river runners who have years of experience and hours of training on the river. Not only are they the safest guides on the river, they are the “FUNNEST” guides on the river too. Squirt guns and boat games are standard on every trip. Our guides would make a mud puddle fun!!!
