What to expect
Itinerary
Our day Kennicott River rafting trips are a fun-filled Glacier Lake & Class II-III splashy Alaska river adventure. Our trip starts at the terminus of the Kennicott Glacier, where the receding ice has created a magnificent lake that has formed in the last twenty years. Paddle around icebergs, watch the dynamic nature of a large valley glacier and take the plunge (literally)! Our first in McCarthy drysuit outfitting means you can jump from an iceberg! After experiencing the grand beauty of a new landscape, we paddle to the mouth of the Kennicott river and raft the fun waves as your guide expertly maneuvers around any dangers and into maximum fun!
Difficulty Level: Moderate
The Kennicott Glacier Lake & River Raft is a moderate trip for those adventurers looking to journey a little further into the Alaskan Bush. This river trip is moderate because you will be paddling and actively participating. You must reserve in advance if your group prefers a Center Rig Oar Boat (your guide rows from the center of the boat and do most of the work. You can paddle or hold on and enjoy the ride!),

fabulous! John is a great guide. Thorough, excellent explanations, safety first, AND fun. We were outfitted with dry suits (crucial safety gear, as an unexpected “swim” is always possible in the icy river), life jackets, and helmets. The safety instructions were clear and concise. Had a ball rafting the rapids, and always felt we were in good hands- so we could really enjoy the experience!! Thank you!Seaside228971

My family highly enjoyed our rafting trip. Ron was personable and knowledgeable. I haven’t seen my kids smile so much as when we got doused by the rapids.
