Alaska Whitewater Rafting - Kenai Peninsula, The Kenai River
When planning for an Alaska whitewater rafting excursion, don't forget to consider what the Kenai Peninsula has to offer. An adventure on the Kenai river can be anything from a scenic two-hour float trip, up to a seven-hour class II rafting experience. River rafting on the Upper Kenai River affords you the opportunity to float, while searching for wildlife and learning about the history of the region.
Whitewater excursions are offered here from May through September, and can be enjoyed by all ages. Trips begin near Kenai Lake, starting out at Jim's Landing and can continue downstream to Skilak Lake.
For more of an adventure, try traversing the whitewater rapids through the Kenai River Canyon. Tours can be arranged for all kinds of rafting, including trips into the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
