How the guide started

Three Forks of the Flathead Story Mapping

The Three Forks of the Flathead Wild and Scenic River digital story map was identified as a tool needed to fill a gap. There is a desire to have an interactive digital information hub that will not only provide residents and visitors a better understanding of this unique river system, but be a resource for trip planning and teaching. In-depth information exists on agency websites and for purchase physical float guides or digital PDFs. A digital story map would condense existing information and address information gaps that would improve understanding of place and ease trip planning.

Funding support is provided through a grant administered by National Park Foundation and Flathead Rural Advisory Committee.
