Guided Canoe Trips
|
|
We believe guided canoe trips should be safe, fun and plush.
Guided trips offer the perfect opportunity to bond with and
enjoy family and friends both old and new without the
housekeeping and cooking. When folks tell us, after a trip, that
they just had one of the best times of their lives we really
take it to heart. To provide a setting where lifetime memories
are made is very satisfying indeed. Take a few minutes and read
what one of our guests had to say.
We use only “Spring Bar” wall tents and cots. After all, our
trips are more like safaris than mountain climbing expeditions.
We endeavor to dazzle with our river cuisine and our guests’
assure us we have succeeded on every single trip. Our guests
have the option of paddling a canoe or kayak. If you are new to
paddling have no fear, our guides will have you paddling with
confidence before lunch!

The trip dates listed are a rough schedule
subject to change, that is, we can change launch dates and trip
duration depending on the wishes of those contemplating a trip
with us. When we receive deposits on any trip the dates are
locked in. A $200 deposit per person is required and the trip
must be paid in full sixty days before departure. Please
consider purchasing trip insurance if you foresee any conflicts
or issues that could cause you to cancel your trip.
All our trips begin and end at the public boat landing in
Fort Benton. Your trip includes all transportation from and back
to this point. All meals are included from lunch on the first
day to lunch on the last day. Sorry, you won’t lose any weight
with us! All camping gear is provided, including, two-person
wall tents, cots, sleeping bags, and water- proof bags for your
personal gear. We use large river tripping canoes chosen for
utility and stability. Kayaks are available as well. We
sometimes send a gear boat ahead on larger trips (over 10).
Generally speaking we limit our trips to 16, including guides,
however, each year we seem to make an exception. Our average group
size is 10. Our guide to guest ratio is 1-4.

We believe guided trips should be safe, fun, and plush.
Guided river trips offer the perfect opportunity to bond
with and enjoy family and friends both old and new without
the housekeeping and cooking, to say nothing of the
distractions of our hectic lives. When folks tell us after
the trip that they just had one of the best times of their
lives, we really take it to heart. To provide that kind of
experience for people is very satisfying indeed.
Lunches are shady, refreshing social occasions, with lots of
fresh fruit and salads, such as Meredith's famous curry
chicken salad. We also provide lots of ice cold drinks and
home baked goodies. When we arrive at camp we serve
appetizers such as a goat cheese with homemade red pepper
jelly with crackers as you relax with a cold drink, take a
swim, or read a volume from the river library and relax in
the shade of a cottonwood tree. Dinners are served around
seven with careful attention to detail. Delicious entrees
such as Grilled Champagne Salmon or Dutch Oven Chicken and
Dumplings. Fresh salads and local produce along with
creative desserts like Meredith's famous Rum Cake or Dutch
Oven Peach Cobbler round out the menu.
With the long daylight hours of high summer we will have
plenty of time for an evening hike to view the sun setting
on our river camp and wildlife beginning to stir around us.
As darkness falls and the sky fills with a million stars,
we'll sit around the fire and enjoy easy conversation
between new friends until tired and happy campers turn in.
Birds awake us at daybreak and the aroma of fresh coffee and
sagebrush drifts into your tent. Your guide hands you a cup
of coffee while another points out a pelican gliding by...
and another day begins. After a breakfast of French toast
with Strawberries and Canadian bacon we're off for a hike
into the "White Cliffs". When you return to camp, lunch is
ready and the canoes have been packed for the days paddle.
This will be your life for the next few days as you
reconnect with a way of travel and exploration that will
leave you rejuvenated and energized at the same time. |
