I recommend going to the area around Hungry Horse dam and also Swan Lake which is the next valley over from Flathead. Rafting won't be the best but you might be able to find a couple of weekend trips still running in September. Fishing access is very good on most rivers but make sure you have a license as the game wardens can fine you for just having a fishing rod in your hand without one.

Note on Kalispell, unless you make BIG $$$$$, you won't be able to afford it. Kalispell land/home prices are in the California range and prices in this area are some of the highest in the state. The road to Kalispell from Missoula is the 2nd "highway of death" in the state, 1st being Billings to Red Lodge in the eastern part of the state. I grew up in Billings so Kalispell isn't an area I would want to live but I can understand why others would.
