CLASS I(II) 370 miles

The natural beauty of Alaska and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. This is the only paddling stretch along Noatak River. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because
these hotels fill up quick. The wild scenery of the Baird Mountains is great. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are not easy. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend
some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.
