Gallatin River Tours and Tickets

Walking along the river is tough—once you arrive, scout out a good lounging or fishing area and stay put. For tubers and rafters, there are easy, commonly used spots to get into the river.

If you’re planning to raft the Gallatin River, it’s a relaxing trip but can take anywhere from three to six hours depending on where you set off from and what type of rafting you’re doing.

If you want to go fishing on the river, fly fishing is recommended as it’s the best way to catch trout. If you’ve never done it before, it’s best to book a fishing tour to get the most out of your experience.

The river is usually at its lowest in the spring—especially in March—when its flow is low and the water is cold. This isn’t the best time to visit if you’re looking to raft or tube, but can be a great time to fish if you’re properly prepared.
