Tazlina Lake to Copper River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alaska tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The beautiful scenery of Alaska and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so it looks like you will be camping out. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby
campground. This is the only paddling section along Tazlina River. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem
and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
