Class I-II Noatak River, AK

Situated in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and the Noatak National Preserve, the Noatak River drains the largest mountain-ringed river basin in America that is still virtually unaffected by human activities. The Noatak is one of the longest designated rivers in Alaska. Entirely above the Arctic Circle, it traverses alpine tundra, rolls through canyons and over plains, and ends up in a flat coastal delta where it drains into Kotzebue Sound.

The river is one of the longest designated wild and scenic rivers in Alaska and provides great opportunities for floating, sightseeing, and wildlife viewing. The Noatak River provides easy to moderate floating through glacial valley.
