Wedding Adventures




Located just 30 minutes west of Missoula, The Alberton Gorge Ranch is conveniently located just off I-90 along the Clark Fork River. The ranch is a beautiful setting for wedding parties and family reunions. It's also the headquarters for the raft company so it has a rather unique atmosphere. It's best suited for small, rustic, outdoor wedding parties (less than 125 people). There's plenty of parking, space for live music and dancing, and shelter as a back-up if the weather doesn't cooperate. Our raft trip and ranch BBQ’s are a favorite of our longtime customers. It’s the perfect place to get together for a rehearsal dinner or family party relax and enjoy a Montana sunset, play horseshoes, ping pong, volleyball, or take a trail ride. Choose one of our listed packages or talk to a special adventure for your group.

RAFT TRIPS: The Alberton Gorge is the premium whitewater run in Montana with rollicking Class 3 rapids and absolutely stunning canyon scenery. In between rapids you and your guests will enjoy the spectacular surroundings and watch for eagles, osprey, kingfishers, moose, deer, bear and mountain lions. The Gorge is a great family float. Younger kids (ages 6 and up) and older folks can ride in bigger rafts for a milder float while people who want a wilder ride will go in smaller paddle rafts. After running legendary rapids like Cliffside, Tumbleweed and Fang, guests can swim, relax and soak up the sun and scenery.

Wedding Party – Alberton Gorge Half Day Raft Trip : About four hours round trip this is a popular choice for bachelor or bachelorette parties looking for a fun adventure. Morning, afternoon and evening trips available daily. Cost: $49/person

Wedding Party-Full Day Alberton Gorge Raft Trip:
Raft the Alberton Gorge and stop along the way for a delicious riverside picnic at a beautiful swimming hole. Our lunches are legendary and still include Bernice’s homemade brownies. Fish Creek is one of the best swimming holes in Montana. Savor it all on the full day adventure. Launch times between 9 and 11am. Cost: $74/person

Raft Trip & BBQ: The Alberton Gorge Ranch:
An afternoon of rafting and whitewater fun followed by a ranch-style BBQ at the Alberton Gorge Ranch. Perfect for rehearsal dinners, wedding parties or large groups who have a few people who can’t make the raft trip but want to come to the BBQ and party afterward. Custom Launch Times: $85/person

Riverboarding: For the party who wants the ultimate whitewater thrill as a part of their Montana wedding, riverboarding the Alberton Gorge on a guided trip is the way to go. You’ll wear a wetsuit, lifejacket, helmet, & fins and run the rapids on a specially designed bodyboard with handles. Learn to surf if you’re gung ho! This adventure has been covered in publications ranging from Men’s Health Magazine to the New York Times. Cost $85
