The Carmen Lake to Turnagain Arm stretch is the only paddling stretch along Twentymile River. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is
a very popular destination. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Some people
prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. The beauty of the Chugach Mountains is a great plus for this river.
