The season for whitewater rafting the Moyie River typically runs from early June through June 25 or so, depending on the snowpack. As the weather warms up in early spring, snow begins to melt and the river rises. Because most of the Moyie drainage comes from the Moyie and Purcell Mountains in Canada, at an elevation of around 8,000-11,000 feet the weather has to get quite warm to create any significant run-off. In a typical year, as air temperatures reach 70-80 degrees in late May and early June, this high elevation snow starts melting, and the river begins to flow adequately for rafting. Since everyone is paddling, we do have an age limit of 16 during the high water period and 14 at other times.
