Alaska whitewater - Brushkana Creek, Alaska Range, Matanuska-Susitna Borough Borough

Matanuska-Susitna Borough county, Denali Highway to Nenana River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     21 miles
  This stretch of Brushkana Creek is 21 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II+ section. The natural beauty of Alaska and the cool fresh water have people coming here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camp stove too. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more
    demanding, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. There are no other stretches to paddle along Brushkana Creek than
the Denali Highway to Nenana River stretch. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The Alaska Range scenery is wonderful.
