Upper Missouri River Guides provides guided canoe float trips along the full 149 mile stretch of the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River. The Upper Missouri is our specialty, and is the only river we guide on. We are a family-owned Montana business, operated by Glenn and Nancy Monahan. Trips include all equipment and meals.

The Upper Missouri is a wilderness float trip. A number of tripping options are available, including 46 miles in 3 to 4 days; 88 miles in 4 to 5 days, 108 miles in 6 days and 149 miles in 6 to 7 days. All of these trips involve primitive camping along the river and transporting your gear (which we provide) in your canoe. The Missouri has no rapids and can be safely enjoyed by anyone who is reasonably fit and loves the outdoors.

Due to its remoteness and rugged beauty, the Upper Missouri offers unparalleled solitude and serenity -- a refreshing change from the fast pace of modern times. We structure our trips to allow you lots of quiet time on the river with your paddling partner. We're proud of our knowledge of the river's history, geology, and ecology which we will share with you, if you're interested.

There are opportunities to visit 13 Lewis and Clark campsites, fur trading post sites, abandoned homestead buildings, and Native American habitation sites; there are hiking opportunities to spectacular off-river locations.

We will outfit you with top of the line Wenonaha(TM) canoes, quality gear, experienced guides, and hearty, nutritious meals. We also offer options for parties who would like to economize by providing their own gear or meals. Please contact us for additional information.

Rental canoes and equipment are also available.

Directions: The Upper Missouri River Guides launch points are at: Fort Benton, Loma, Coal Banks Landing, and Judith Landing. The closest major airport is at Great Falls, Montana.
