Rafting the Anvik

Southwestern Alaska is full of pristine winding and converging rivers that teem with fish and wildlife. Each river has its own flavor, allowing you to choose the ideal setting and pace for your particular floating journey.

Some trips are so remote that you may not come across a single soul - it will just be you and the river. Aniak provides the best gear and service available for all float trip river adventures, including self-bailing Otter rafts, pumps, patch kits, dry bags, marine radios, and much more.

Prices will vary with trip destination and duration, as will your equipment list. Both guided and unguided trips are offered. Call today to create the custom trip that you've been dreaming about for years!

Anvik River
This scenic, clear water tributary tof the Yukon River is an easy float (Class I and II) through beautiful surroundings that are forested to the headwaters. A less visited river means you will hardly see anyone on your trip! Great fishing for King Salmon, chums, and silvers, Arctic Grayling, Char, Pike, Sheefish, and Dolly Vardens.

The Headwaters to Yellow River has a medium gradient with pools, riffles, and frequent small sand/gravel bars. Some tributaries have a significantly higher gradient, such as Canyon Creek. From Yellow River to the mouth, the river becomes a lower gradient stream changing to a single channel meander. The lower river from Theodore Creek to the mouth, is also a single channel meander with attached oxbow lakes and a low gradient. This lower section of the river is better fishing for northern pike than in the upriver sections. Sheefish are also available near the mouth and are best fished for in early June and September.
