We guide scenic, flat-water trips on the Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers every day of the week. We run afternoon (12-4) and evening floats (4:30-8:30) for up to 18 passengers on two boats. Every trip includes three beers or ciders for each guest (or non-alcoholic drinks, just let us know) from your chosen pick-up location. We bring insulated steel growlers and pint glasses so you don’t have to plan anything!

We’ll take care of everything, and you and your party will take in the sunset from the best place possible—on the river, beer in hand.

FAQs
Can kids come?
Absolutely! We love having kids along on the trip. Make sure you let us know their weights so we can make sure we have the appropriate life jackets. Also, let us know what they would like to drink (soda, juice, etc) or we can prepare our specialty root beer floats.
Are life jackets provided?
Yes. Type III life jackets are provided and mandatory for the duration of the trip. Think of it as a seat belt when you drive across town.
What should I wear?
Your feet may get wet so sandals are best. Dress appropriately for the day’s weather. Bring sunscreen. We will have water.
Can we bring our own drinks?
Nope! When we meet you at the brewery, cidery or tap room, we will fill up growlers with the drinks you desire. These are the only alcoholic beverages we allow on the boat.
Is this going to be super fun for me?
You betcha.
Need River City Brews gear?
We’ve gotcha covered with hoodies, growlers, and steel pints. Ask us at the end of your trip or email us to buy.
