Book a Guided River Trip

Canoeing the Upper Missouri River is like floating through history. Immerse yourself in this magnificent, wild landscape without hassle or worry. Our guide service is dedicated to ensuring an adventuresome, safe and memorable experience for all. Of all Montana river trips, this is one of the absolute best.

Options range from 2 to 8 days and everything in between.

Small group size is our priority. The river is calling.

Day Trips - Fort Benton

This is the perfect quick trip if you are limited on time but still to experience the solace and beauty of the Upper Missouri River. A day trip is also ideal for families with small children who might not be ready for several days of camping. Are you coordinating a group event or family gathering? This activity is a perfect addition - let us help you plan!

We offer two trip options. This section of the National Monument is highly underrated, underappreciated and rarely visited.

Private & Custom Canoe Trips

We specialize in private and custom canoe trips of all sizes. The best part about a guided trip: we handle logistics, decision making, all preparations, cooking and cleaning so you and your group can truly enjoy the solace and each others’ company without hassle in a magnificent nature setting.
Let us help you make the job of organizing easier!

We can accommodate any and all group sizes.

Purchase River Guidebook & Maps

Canoe with the only available guidebook. Co-authored by the founder of Upper Missouri River Guides, this "History Digest", is a mile-by-mile river log with over one hundred descriptive narratives including Lewis and Clark journal entries, fur trading fort sites, steamboat landings, Indian habitation sites, and more. Don’t forget a waterproof, mile-by-mile map showing public and private land, camp areas, historical sights, safety tips and much more.

“If you are looking for a hidden gem to explore, this is the trip and Upper Missouri River Guides is the company to take you there… a once in a lifetime experience that everyone should take.”

Owners, Guides and Shuttle Drivers

Since 1994, our guide & outfitting service has offered guided canoe trips on the Upper Missouri River. We retain one of the ORIGINAL owners (and he is still guiding 20+ years later), and have been using the highest quality canoes from the beginning. Let us be your outfitter for the Upper Missouri River: Our guides include the owners and a small group of dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate outdoor enthusiasts who look forward to enriching your adventure with history, geology, wildlife sightings and more as well as learning from you. From creating gourmet meals on the riverbank to learning the details of a solo 6 month journey retracing the Lewis and Clark expedition, we are a dynamic group and specialize in creating a congenial and friendly experience.

We hope to disperse after the trip as friends.
