Dear friends and customers:

After 47 years as owner of Montana River Outfitters I have decided to retire.  I would like to extend my appreciation for your business and the friendships we have developed over the years.  I will miss each of you and the outstanding team of men and women that have made MRO a great and successful outfitting business.  It has been a pleasure and an honor to work side by side with an outstanding crew for nearly 5 decades.

I will be selling Montana River Outfitters.  So, if you are interested in owning a successful and profitable outfitting and guiding business please contact me by phone, text, or email. 

While I will not be offering guided trips, or rentals, this spring, I will still be selling new and used rafts, kayaks, canoes and accessories by appointment.

Please contact me by cell phone or text at 406.799.7800 or email at craigm@montana.com.

I am looking forward in my retirement to spending more time with my family, (and especially with grandkids!).

While MRO is no longer offering outfitting services, I am recommending you consider the following businesses:

Fly shop, fly fishing trips, and lodging: Wolf Creek Angler: 406.235.4350

Scenic raft and kayak day trips (upstream from Great Falls): Prairie Mountain Adventures: 334.300.6168

Canoe and kayak trips, rentals, and shuttles: (Below Fort Benton): Missouri River Outfitters: 406.622.3295

South Fork of the Flathead horse and mule pack-in trips: BMW Cheff Outfitters: 406.529.8557

Raft rentals: Cross Currents:406.235.3433

Thank you for your patronage and support and a lifetime of great opportunities, adventures, and memories! 

May our paths cross again in the future.

Sincerely,

Craig Madsen

Montana River Outfitters
