Missoula isn’t the only town that has a river that you can recreate on. But how many of those other rivers take you from serene backcountry, right through the heart of downtown? There is a reason Missoula has been voted one of the best river towns in America, by Outside Magazine.
On a hot Missoula day you will be sure to find hundreds of floaters passing through town on their tubes. If you decide to join them, they might even be generous to share their beer with you. Just make sure to leave the glass at home and take any garbage from the float with you.
If tubing isn’t for you, the Clark Fork River is the perfect river to try out your stand-up paddle boarding skills. Growing in popularity, a number of companies offer rentals and some tips before you hit the water.
