Choose the right adventure...
 There
are a variety of preplanned trips that can be taken on the
Big Fork River. Any one choice will offer spectacular scenery
and abundant wildlife. Because you are an individual with
particular interests and challenge levels, we would like to
help you find the right trip for you. Remember, we are also
happy to help you customize any of these trips, or even help
you design your own. The choices are unlimited! For example,
you can change the length of the trip, area, number of people
or boats, camping supplies, and degree of difficulty.
 Most
of the sites along the river are DNR maintained. They have
picnic tables, outhouses, and camping areas. There is no charge
to camp at these sites. Free firewood is provided at many
of the DNR maintained campsites.
The campground in Big Falls is maintained by the City of
Big Falls and costs $10 per night. It is located on the most
spectacular falls of the river (Class IV-V). The City Campground
has hot showers, water and electric hookups, and free firewood.
The view from this campground is worth experiencing even if
you don’t choose to camp there!
Supplies can be restocked while in Big Falls. Our headquarters
are only a block away from the city campground, in Gorden's
Hardware Hank. LB Foods is located right next door for your
grocery needs.
