  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alaska tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. This stretch of Nabesna River is 81 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Nabesna River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Nabesna Glacier to Northway Indian Village section is the only one. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. Not too many hotels
    nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure.
