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 beautiful scenery of Valdez-Cordova     Census Area Borough and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. This section of White River is 55 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. The beautiful Wrangell Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. There are no other sections to paddle along White River than the Solo Creek airstrip to Alaska Highway Bridge section.
