Southeast Fairbanks Census Area county, Taylor Highway Fortymile Bridge to Yukon River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(III)     100 miles
  The nature scenery of Southeast Fairbanks Census Area Borough and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This section of Fortymile River in Alaska is 100 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II(III) section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit
    away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There's camping available near Fortymile River. Now this is a pretty long section, so better bring your camping gear along. Fortymile River doesn't have a lot of paddling
sections, the Taylor Highway Fortymile Bridge to Yukon River section is the only one.

Around Fortymile River you don’t get a lot of precipitation; all through July this area sees the most rain, and March on the other hand is the driest. The views at Yukon - Charley Rivers National Preserve will blow your mind.
