    In 1995 we went river rafting as a family using Glacier Raft Company,the oldest rafting company in Montana. But there are several rafting companies (listed below) to chose from. All offer fun whitewater river rafting on the Middle Fork and/or North Fork of the scenic Flathead Rivers which border the National Park.In most places on the river it was calm and peaceful, then when we got to the rapids it was exciting and fun.Two Hollywood films used this area for a location; 'A River Ran Through It' and 'The River Wild'. Both films show the beautiful and pristine nature of the Flathead Region in Northwest Montana.

    ...hikes and walks in this park. Pick up a brochure when you enter, but do take into consideration that some of these hikes are quite long.

    This is a unique park, so plan to stay more than a day!

    Good boots with an excellent tread -- you'll experience every type of undergrowth here!

    If you didn't bring your own, take advantage of the rental services and get out on the water! Sea kayaks, rowboats, canoes, and even motor boats are available at an hourly rate. Manual craft go for $10 per hour while the motorized boats go for $19-$20 per hour depending on the location. It's another great way to enjoy the natural beauty of this great park.

    What's available is dependent on each lake as follows:

    Many Glacier (Swiftcurrent Lake): Rowboats, sea kayaks, canoes

    Two Medicine Lake: 8 hp motor boats, rowboats, sea kayaks, canoes

    St. Mary Lake: No rentals (too windy)

    Lake McDonald: 8 hp motor boats and rowboats

    Apgar: 10 hp motor boats, rRowboats, sea kayaks, canoes
