Denali Outdoor Center

For visitors to Denali National Park in search of some whitewater fun, Denali Outdoor Center offers an inflatable kayak trip down Class II and III rapids that requires no prior experience. The only real requirement is that participants be in good physical condition, as each participant is assigned an individual kayak. Although the trip is led by a guide, the performance of an individual kayaker is largely in her own hands. All necessary equipment is included in the trip's fees.
