What’s new at Bearpaw? Well, the first and most obvious thing that is new at Bearpaw is our website. This past winter season, with the help of Brett Rodli at Rodli Web Strategies, we completely updated and improved the website. Our previous website, although it was very cool, needed to be overhauled… So here we are with our new and improved online appearance! Please take a moment to look around- we have tons of new photos in the PHOTO GALLERY, have all of our guides presented in the OUR GUIDES page, and have many more cool additions. Check it out!

This winter we have made a few new additions to our Bearpaw Operations... We have purchased some new, super comfortable life jackets, have bought a new boat trailer, and have obtained some new tents for our camp/lunch spot. Each year our operations continue to get better and better!

The 2012 river season is coming right up! Here we go again. I would encourage anyone who has been thinking about running the Lochsa to call us up and make your reservation... The Lochsa is about the coolest thing I can imagine to do in Western Montana or North Central Idaho. Now is the time to reserve your launch date with our office. Experience all the thrills and excitement. Come and get it! Actually many of you already have called us up for your 2012 trip dates (Thank You). For those of you that have not, we still have many excellent dates available. We can’t wait to get out there and get after it!

Guide Training Weekend! Our annual Guide Training Workshop is again in the schedule- specific dates are not scheduled but it is likely that the workshop will take place sometime in mid April. The weekend is always a lot of fun and is also a great place to get back into river shape- both physically and mentally. It is definitely a 'hands-on” event– everyone will have the chance to guide some rafts, swim some whitewater, throw some rescue ropes, and take part in many other guiding skills. A heavy and detailed workbook will be provided to each guide. The workbook contains everything that you will need to become a savvy Bearpaw River Rat and a fully licensed Idaho river guide. For more information see the GUIDE TRAINING page of the website or call Justin at 406.543.0988.
