Last weekend we did a day trip on the Nenana River from the grassy knoll put in to Kingfisher take out in Glitter Gulch. Our vessels included a raft equipped with an oar frame and an inflatable kayak. This stretch of twenty-two river miles makes for a great day trip. At the start the water is pretty flat which gives us some time to warm up and go over paddle commands. Before too long we hit our first rock garden, and it only gets more exciting from there. We end the day with a couple of sets of class three rapids and respect for the river.
With a small group, just four of us, we were all able to try the inflatable kayak out on the river, which is a very different kind of adventure when we are used to being on a raft. Everyone had fun, learned something new, and no one fell in. We hope more of you get the chance to join us on the river next time!
We are still hoping to collect some pictures from our participants, and they'll be on our facebook when we do. so keep an eye out if you are interested.
