The wonderful Alaska scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This is the only paddling
section along Kenai River. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Kenai Lake to Skilak Lake section of Kenai River in Kenai Peninsula Borough is 18 miles long and is a class
II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.
