Valdez-Cordova Census Area county, Bush strip to Copper River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV(V+)     30 miles
  The nature scenery of Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alaska are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. Getting some
    good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling section along Dadina River. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so better
bring your camping gear along.
