Good Hope Creek Confluence to Reed Lakes Trailhead section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     0.8 miles
  The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The Good Hope Creek Confluence to Reed Lakes Trailhead stretch of Reeds Creek in Alaska is 0.8 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. When you're paddling down a Talkeetna Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Reeds Creek doesn't
    have a lot of paddling stretches, the Good Hope Creek Confluence to Reed Lakes Trailhead stretch is the only one. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. This is a very short stretch
so better bring some good walking shoes. The wonderful Alaska scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Reeds Creek beats anything. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more.
