Mendenhall Glacier is located a short drive from Juneau and is one of the most scenic and popular attractions in Southeast Alaska. A beautiful lake located at the base of the glacier offers excellent paddling opportunity in a beautiful and unique setting. The lake water is obviously very cold with small icebergs so extreme caution must be used when paddling. Canoe outfitters are available in the area that offer either group tours or self-guided tours but arrangements will need to be made far in advance.
