Experience the thrill of SIX MILE CREEK 3-CANYON! This run involves 3 hours of pool drop style class 4 & 5 rapids through the lush terrain of Chugach National Forest.
EXPERIENCE:
Experience the rush of Alaska whitewater! Get wet and wild on this creek and run through three consecutive canyons. Each canyon is more beautiful and more challenging than the last, with tight narrow routes, steep slot drops, crashing waves, and deep beautiful blue pools. Its an awesome ride all surrounded by lush green rainforest walls. A truly world-class section of whitewater that happens to be half-day accessible and gives a one-of-a-kind Alaskan adventure in just a few hours. This creek cuts right through the gorgeous Chugach National Forest and then pours into the pacific ocean at Turnagain Arm just south of Anchorage. From the creek is a 16-mile drive to the mining town of Hope, AK from the highway junction meeting area. In the town of Hope there are great dining options along with quaint Alaskan charm to explore after your trip. This tour is located two hours south of Anchorage off the Seward Highway. With action-packed adrenaline-pumping rapids set in a serene semi-rain forest gorge, its a picture-perfect river trip. NOVA pioneered Six Mile Creek in the 1980s and has constantly led adventures on this famous section of whitewater. The first and second canyons have multiple significant Class 3 & 4 rapids with decent size pools and distance between rapids, the third canyon involves our class 4 & 5 run. Both our 2 canyon and 3 canyon raft tours include a mandatory (yet fun) in-river swim test before the start of the tour. This also is to help demystify the experience of being in the moving water and currents, to practice self-rescue, and check everyones swimming abilities prior to the trip launch.
