Tripple Lakes Trail to Nenana River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 6 miles
The wonderful Denali Borough scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alaska are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. When you're paddling down a Alaska Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater
rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. No need to look hard for hotels, 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. Riley Creek doesn't
have a lot of paddling sections, the Tripple Lakes Trail to Nenana River section is the only one. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. The Tripple Lakes Trail to Nenana River stretch of Riley Creek is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III section of whitewater.
