Kenai Peninsula
county,
Nellie Juan Lake to Kings Bay section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 20 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Alaska is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. The nature scenery of Alaska and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough
to come here to paddle. The Nellie Juan Lake to Kings Bay section of Nellie Juan River in Kenai Peninsula Borough is 20 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want
to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is the only paddling stretch along Nellie Juan River. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots.
