Alaska whitewater, Windy River / Rocky River Kenai Peninsula county, 3 miles above Windy/Rocky confluence to tidewater section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS IV     11 miles   (...) Check with American Whitewater or Andrew Embick's book ''Fast and Cold''. The rapids are NOT similar throughout this section and vary from easy II to an unrunnable 50' waterfall. The lower section near tidewater is extremely braided through dense alders with numerous sweepers/strainers and not recommended (more portaging than floating). The steep canyon section (one mile long)is for creekers only and only after thorough scouting and     preparation. A fun 3-mile section of class II-III lies between the confluence of Windy and Rocky Rivers (end of steep canyon section) and where the river starts to braid in the lower flats. A trail runs along the length of the river but is washed out and overgrown in places. Be prepared to bushwhack! The class II-III section is great for packrafters! (mostly class II/II+ at normal spring runoff when the river is runnable). Says Kevin Renfro You better be a little more than pretty ok if you're going to try a class IV rapid in an alaskan river and live to tell about it. if your lawyer knew you guys were saying this crap he'd have a heart attack!
