We offer the Talkeetna River with a 4 day /3 night itinerary.

We spend two days in the upper river, one day of Class 3 and 4 whitewater in Talkeetna Canyon and one day on the lower river floating to Talkeetna.

On the upper river we stop at Prairie Creek, known for its excellent fishing as well as bear sightings.

On the last night we camp near Disappointment Creek.

We depart Disappiontment Creek in the morning, arriving back in Talkeetna in the afternoon.

All trips require a minimum group size of four people in order to be run, so start organizing your “crew” ASAP.

The following schedule is a sample 4 day itinerary.

All Talkeetna River trips require that you meet us in Talkeetna the evening prior to Day 1 for pre-trip orientation meeting and packing for an early departure the next day. We can help with arrangements for lodging and transport to Talkeetna. It’s no problem, just ask.
