Mineral Creek Road to Lower Canyon section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 3 miles
This stretch of Mineral Creek in Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough is 3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. The Chugach Mountains scenery is wonderful. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This river system has a few
good paddling sections and the Mineral Creek Road to Lower Canyon section is one of them. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots. There are many good hotels to choose from, but do book a room before you come because
it is a very popular destination. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The scenic beauty of Alaska and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here.
