North Slope Borough county, Dalton Highway Bridge to Slope Mt. Road Camp section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     36 miles
  The nature scenery of Alaska and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The Dalton Highway Bridge to Slope Mt. Road Camp section of Atigun/Sagavanirktok is 36 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alaska are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as
    elsewhere. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. If you're a camper you
can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Atigun/Sagavanirktok doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Dalton Highway Bridge to Slope Mt. Road Camp section is the only one. The beautiful Brooks Range scenery is an added bonus.
