Nenana Scenic Mild-Water Rafting Adventure

Scenic and wilderness, and although this trip will begin at McKinley Village in the midst of local lodges, your river raft will drift slowly away and leave only a quiet encounter with Denali's wilderness. Imagine yourself floating in solitude along the boundaries of Denali National Park, Alaska on this 2 Hour oar raft trip! Enjoy the Alaskan splendor as we view the Yanert Fork River merging with the waters of the Nenana River below the Musher's Monument, a natural rock formation distinctly resembling a musher driving a sled and team of dogs. While passing by Mount Fellows and Pyramid Mountain, watch for a variety of wildlife and enjoy class II and mild class III whitewater rapids. Families with small children and those wanting a bit less splash will discover the joys of rafting.
