Floaters

There will be far fewer parking hassles for Clark Fork river floaters starting Thursday, thanks to a partnership between the University of Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the Downtown Partnership, the Mountain Line and the City of Missoula.

Now is the perfect time to float the river, but it is also very important to stay safe while doing so.

The story of a 19 car train derailment along the Clark Fork River would be news no matter what, but its the images of Boeing airplane parts submerged in the river that have drawn national attention.
