Upper Quarry to Costco section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV+ 2 miles
The Upper Quarry to Costco stretch of Lemon Creek is 2 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-IV+ section of whitewater. The starting location is a short drive from Juneau, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The scenic beauty of Alaska and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. The rivers for whitewater
rafting and kayaking here in Alaska are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because
it is a very popular destination. This stretch is short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
