Alaska whitewater - White River, Wrangell Mountains, Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough Valdez-Cordova Census Area county, Solo Creek airstrip to Alaska Highway Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II     55 miles   The White River is NOT a Class II River, unless you have personally run it from the airstrip at Solo Creek to the Canadian Border I would strongly suggest that you do a little more research. There is a portion where all of the water pours into a very narrow canyon that be heard from quite a distance. I was raised in that area and it is an extremely dangerous and violent River, so do your research and do not rely on sites such as this, where people rely on aerial photos or other information. Says Sue Mock The Solo Creek airstrip to Alaska Highway     Bridge stretch of White River in Alaska is 55 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough and the water flowing gracefully down White River have people coming here. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The beauty of the Wrangell Mountains is a great plus for this river. White River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Solo Creek airstrip to Alaska Highway Bridge section is the only one. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Now this is a pretty long section, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
