The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alaska are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The starting point is not too far from Anchorage.

people there are campgrounds nearby. The nature scenery of Alaska and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Chugach Mountains scenery is wonderful. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
