You’ll Never Guess What Kind of Business in Missoula People Absolutely Love

I was absolutely delighted this week when I learned about a bluegrass band that would be floating the Clark Fork River while playing live music. It's the sort of stunt that is 1 part daring 2 parts wholesome that makes me wish I could float along and listen, but alas, I have other plans.

One detail I learned while writing that story was that the band would be floating on a river raft provided by the Love Boat Paddle Co. It's a company that I'd never heard of, but I thought it was cool they were helping out with the event.

Then I got curious about the other river rafting companies in Missoula that I might not know about and I stumbled on something fascinating.

Missoula's river rafting companies have incredibly high ratings on Google. And it's across the board. It's not like there are a few highly rated companies and then the rest are average. Every listing I found for "river rentals Missoula" that was an actual river rental company (there were a surprising number of apartment buildings that had river in the name)  had dozens of reviews that were over 4.5 stars.

Take a look at these amazing businesses in Missoula and what people are saying about them in their Google Reviews:
