Wiley E. Waters is a Superior, Montana-based outfitter offering a curated lineup of guided rafting and scenic float trips on the Clark Fork River and Spokane River. The company operates a mix of half-day, full-day and scenic trips that range from relaxing two-hour floats to adrenaline-pumping Class III–IV whitewater runs through the Alberton Gorge. Many trips include guided instruction, safety equipment, and post-trip refreshments; select group trips provide shuttle service and additional amenities.
