Clark Fork River Rafting Day Trip

Tumbleweed Rapid

Tumbleweed Rapid came up fast, a distinct horizon line where the river dropped over a sharp ledge and funneled into a punchy wave train below. From the raft, we could see the smooth tongue of water sliding toward a sudden curl of whitewater. We squared up and dug in, the bow dropping cleanly over the edge before slamming into the first standing wave. Water exploded over the front, soaking the crew and setting off a round of cheers and shouts. The current pushed hard but steady as we rode out the rest of the waves, grinning and wide-eyed as we regrouped in the calmer water below.
