Just under an hour from Helena is the world class Missouri and Blackfoot Rivers. While these rivers are home to some of the world's best fly fishing, its also a haven for just a leisurely float in a raft, kayak, or canoe, on a stand up paddleboard or even in a blow up floatie from Target.

With so many launch points, you're able to customize the length of your float depending on the crew, the weather and how many cold bevies you packed.

Some of our favorite summer time floats include Craig to Mid Canon, and Mid Canon to Prewett Creek. While floating Mid Canon to Prewett you'll experience some amazing views of the towering rocks and the chance to jump off the rocks at Mountain Palace.

Tips from a local:

Get on the river early to beat the crowds!

Take your lunch game up a notch and bring along a mini bbq and fresh oysters!

Pay for a shuttle, its always worth it! Headhunters Fly Shop does a great job! https://www.headhuntersflyshop.com/
