Alaska whitewater - Reeds Creek, Talkeetna Mountains, unknown Borough

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

 

CLASS V     0.8 miles
  This section of Reeds Creek is 0.8 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V section of whitewater. The Talkeetna Mountains scenery is wonderful. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. The nature scenery of unknown Borough and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here
    and paddle. There's camping available near Reeds Creek. The Good Hope Creek Confluence to Reed Lakes Trailhead stretch is the only paddling stretch along Reeds Creek. This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Getting
a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. The average Alaska whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
