county,
Lakes in upper river to Colville River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 90 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alaska are harder than the national norm, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. This section of Killik River is 90 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Alaska and the water flowing gracefully down Killik River beats anything. Killik River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Lakes in upper river to Colville River stretch is the only one. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are
sure to keep you coming back for more. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to
stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
