The Tangle Lakes is a chain of lakes over 16 miles of long that form the headwaters of the Delta River and offer some very scenic paddling in the remote and rugged wilderness of interior Alaska. This paddling trip starts from Round Tangle Lake and follows the chain north to the Upper Delta River. The run then follows the river for 20 miles to the take-out. There are multiple primitive campsites located along the river for multi-day trips. There is a portage required at around the 10 mile mark that is accomplished by following a portage trail to the right. The river also has multiple sections of braided channels to negotiate and multiple class II-III rapids.
