About

Once the train lets us off at chase 15 min upriver. We then walk down to the area where the rafts will be readied for you for the float trip down the mighty Susitna River.

Floating this pristine glacial-fed river offers many beautiful wilderness scenes. Imagine quietly floating, so quiet that you can hear the suspended silt as it brushes against the raft's floor, going with the river's flow, seeing ferns that drape the river's edge so large that they topple over due to their height and weight; some measuring well over 8 feet tall. Eagles flying by, salmon jumping in the river, moose crossing the side creeks, an occasional bear stalking fish along the river banks; all of these things are possible to see in the wilderness of Alaska. We certainly don't promise to see them on this tour, but it is possible.

After a brief sandbar stop, you will continue on your wilderness soft adventure floating on the mighty Susitna River for some 12 miles back to the town of Talkeetna. You will arrive at approximately 6:00 PM just in time for last-minute shopping and dinner at one of our great local restaurants.
