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

 

CLASS V     18 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The scenic beauty of Alaska and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. This section of Kijik River in Lake and Peninsula Borough Borough is 18 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V section. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. This stretch
    has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. This is the only paddling stretch along Kijik River. 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. The campgrounds here at Kijik River are pretty good.
