Flathead River – Private River Shuttle Services: Whether you’re paddling in a pack of SUPs, floating with friends in a tube, or rowing your kayak downriver, we offer convenient shuttle options for you and your group—so you can focus on the fun and leave the logistics to us.
(For SUPs, tubes, kayaks, canoes – up to 15’)
We’ll pick you up at a designated take-out (Old Steel Bridge, Pressentine, or Teakettle) and shuttle you with your watercraft to the put-in of your choice (Pressentine, TeaKettle, or Blankenship Bridge). Great for traveling paddlers, couples, or small groups with lightweight craft like SUPs, kayaks, or tubes. Your vehicle will be at the take-out already, so you have as much time as you need.
Float time estimates based on typical recreational pace in moderate flow conditions. Adjust accordingly for water level, wind, craft type, and paddling effort.
Ideal for tubes, SUPs, and casual paddling; current is mellow but can vary with flow. We will pick you up at Pressentine FAS and drive you and your watercraft to Teakettle to start your float.
