CLASS IV-V     14 miles
  The nature scenery of Alaska and the water flowing gracefully down Jarvis Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alaska are harder than the national norm, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. The Trail above McCumber Creek to Trail below Ober Creek (Jarvis Creek Canyon) stretch of Jarvis Creek is 14 miles long and has been determined by American
    Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. Jarvis Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Trail above McCumber Creek to Trail below Ober Creek (Jarvis Creek Canyon) section is the only one. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance
then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
