Clark Fork River – Alberton Gorge
“The Gorge” is a Western Montana classic whitewater run. With notable rapids like Cliffside, The Ledge, Triple Bridges, Boat Eater, Tumbleweed and Fang, it is no wonder that people come from far and wide to enjoy a day on the water here. This is one of the most beautiful river runs in the Greater Missoula area. Alberton Gorge also offers some of the best fishing in the region. Fall dry fly fishing for big rainbow trout and occasional cutthroat and brown trout with an added opportunity for northern pike on flies makes for incredible fishing. The scenery is dominated by dense forests and purple cliffs. Hughes River Expeditions will run fishing trips and rafting trips on The Gorge. Contact the Hughes River Expeditions office for more information. Special Use Permit by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.
