Tsina Glacier to Tsina Lodge on Richardson Highway section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

The average Alaska whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The Chugach Mountains scenery is wonderful. The Tsina Glacier to Tsina Lodge on Richardson Highway section of Tsina River in Alaska is 12 miles long and it is classified as a class III+ section by American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Alaska and the water flowing gracefully down Tsina River are in themselves reasons enough to
come here to paddle. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. The campgrounds here at Tsina River are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting
or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
