The Clark Fork River Lodge is located on the banks of the beautiful Lower Clark Fork River, northeast of St. Regis, Montana. A scenic stone pathway carves out an easy trail to the river, where trout fishermen can match wits with browns, rainbows, and the native cutthroat.
Guests may also simply relax and savor the view from the open deck of the lodge. During your stay, enjoy the hot springs and fine dining a few miles up the road. Complete the day with an evening campfire, and fully take in the starscape of the Big Sky.
Our lodge has a rustic atmosphere, with custom-made log beds and wood floors, yet guests will appreciate the modern conveniences of a full kitchen and three full bathrooms.
The Clark Fork River Lodge is owned and operated by John Perry's Montana Fly Fishing. Custom packages which include lodging, professional fly fishing guide service, and on-site dining, are available.

Map & Owner's Profile
Clark Fork River Lodge: the Finest of Western Montana
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Missoula
I chose this location because of the solitude, beauty, serenity, fly fishing opportunites, wildlife viewing, and proximity to a wide variety of outdoor and recreational activities, such as hiking, skiing, bicycling, etc. The Clark Fork River is one of Montana's best kept secrets for fly fishing.
