Rafting the Kisaralik
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!
Kisaralik River
A popular and easy float trip of intermediate duration for the experienced rafter. The upper river is swift, with long stretches of shallow rocky rapids. There are four short Class III rapids and a small waterfall that are all easily portaged along the bank. You will also pass Kisaralik Lake.
Typical of lower Kuskokwim streams, the upper section flows through moderate sized Kilbuck Mountains (2,000 to 3,000 foot elevation) and gradually transition into Kuskokwim lowlands and tundra. The river changes from swift water in the mountains to gradual slow meandering course in the lowlands with poorly defined channel in several locations. Taiga forest vegetation, including black spruce, birch, aspen, balsam poplar, and alders, lines the banks of Kuskokwim lowland streams.
