Alaska Rafting Trips
From Denali National Park's meandering Nenana River to the salmon-rich Copper River, rafting allows for a double dose of Alaska adventure coupled with stunning scenery. Many visitors to Alaska overlook rafting as an excellent way to observe the state's flora and fauna, missing out on the varied river environments and wildlife, especially during salmon runs.
The Nenana River creates part of the border of Denali National Park and is perfect for those wanting to explore Interior Alaska from the water. The Wilderness Run sweeps rafts into the swift but smooth Nenana on the way to the splashy ending at the Jonesville Bridge in Denali Park. This tour can accommodate train passengers and independent travelers alike and works well as a half-day experience.
Visiting the Kenai Peninsula? The blue-green waters of the Kenai River are home to thousands of salmon, trout, and other fish species. Guests on this scenic float from Cooper Landing travel through the scenic Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, spotting bears and humans both vying for nutrient-rich salmon. Learn more about the history of the Kenai Peninsula as you continue to the journey's end. This is an excellent trip for independent travelers and those staying at the Kenai Princess Lodge.
Most scenic floats are designed to accommodate rafters with no experience. Some operators do have weight and age restrictions based upon safety standards, so check at the time of reservation.
Wear layers and a hat, and don't forget your camera and a pair of binoculars. Polarized sunglasses help against the river glare and also assist in spotting fish in the water.
