Missoula is set right in the middle of-on-the water fun. The Clark Fork runs right through downtown with Brennan’s Wave the center of attraction. Downstream there’s the famous Alberton Gorge offering whitewater fun. Upstream is the Blackfoot river which offers all levels of fun and entertainment. South of Missoula the Bitterroot River is a beautiful scenic float, and don’t forget your fishing rod.
