About Great Northern Whitewater
Great Northern Whitewater is a full-service rafting, fishing, and lodging resort on the doorstep of Glacier National Park in West Glacier, Montana. Operating on the Middle Fork and main stem of the Flathead River for decades, they are one of the most established outfitters in the region and a go-to for visitors looking to combine whitewater thrills with comfortable riverside cabins.
Their lineup includes half-day whitewater trips through the John Stevens Canyon rapids, scenic float trips ideal for families and wildlife viewing, guided fly fishing on the Flathead, and multi-day river camping expeditions. Kayak instruction and inflatable kayak trips round out the water offerings. Group sizes stay manageable, and guides carry decades of combined river experience.
What makes Great Northern unique is the complete package — guests can raft in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and sleep in a creekside cabin at night without ever leaving the property. The resort sits just one mile from the park entrance, making it a natural base camp for a Glacier adventure.
