The Upper Tanana offers an excellent multi-day paddling destination in Interior Alaska's very remote and rugged wilderness. The river is quite a distance from Fairbanks and shuttling vehicles is a challenge so paddlers who make the effort will enjoy plenty of solitude. The water is flat with lots of braided channels that make it interesting and challenging but still manageable for intermediate paddlers. When the river is divided into multiple channels, follow the widest one with the most water. Wind can cause some riffles and rough water. There are no other access sites along this stretch but adequate campsites make multi-day trips on the river possible. The bridge is a decent spot to put-in but leaving vehicles at this spot for multiple days is not recommended.
