Alaska whitewater - Kijik River, Lake and Peninsula Borough Borough

Lake and Peninsula Borough county, Lachbuna to Lake Clark section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     18 miles
  If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The Lachbuna to Lake Clark section of Kijik River is 18 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. There are campgrounds
    quite near the river where you can camp. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Lachbuna to Lake Clark section is the only paddling section along Kijik River. The scenic beauty of Lake and Peninsula
Borough Borough and the playfulness of the water have people coming here.
