Alaska whitewater - Kiagna River, Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough Valdez-Cordova Census Area county, Gravel bar to Chitina River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS V+     19 miles   The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camping stuff. The beautiful scenery of Alaska and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
