  The Twin Lakes to Mulchatna River stretch of Chilikadrotna River in Kenai Peninsula / Lake and Peninsula Borough is 60 miles long and has been rated as a class I-III section by American Whitewater. The average Alaska whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The beautiful scenery of Alaska and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough
    to come here to paddle. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. Now this is a pretty long section, so better bring your
camping gear along. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The Twin Lakes to Mulchatna River section is the only paddling section along Chilikadrotna River.
