Rafting on the Nenana river allows you to float along the natural boundary of Denali National Park. This allows you to peek into the Park without the traffic.

• Learn about the area’s geologic and indigenous history
• See local wildlife like lizards and snakes while you explore
• A small group means more attention from your guide
• A central meeting point makes for a seamless start
