Ladies Only Knik River Tour with Paddlesports by True North AK

Who's down for a great day of padding without the boys? Then come check out this opportunity for a fun kayaking experience. Best of all, you don't need any kayaking experience. So grab a girlfriend and sign up today on our website. The link is in the bio. We look forward to seeing you on the water.

This glacier formed valley is full of wildlife, such as moose, bear, eagles, and salmon just to name a few. Though we can not guarantee you will see wildlife on your tour, we can guarantee that you will get to experience being out in nature. This tour starts and ends at the Glenn Highway Knik River Bridge, by Reflection’s Lake, once everyone is checked in we will transfer everyone to Old Knik Bridge. Once at the bridge we will board our paddle craft and begin our journey down the Knik River. The Knik River is glacier fed so no jumping in unless you want a very cold bath. The river has a strong but slow moving current that takes us back to the Glenn Highway Bridge. Depending on tides and wind you may need to paddle at the very end of the Knik river but for the most part this is a very relaxing float. As we float, look for animals, admire the grandeur of the Chugach mountains and observe the many braids of the river.

Other than the vaulted toilet at Reflections Lake, there are no restrooms, just bushes, so please plan accordingly. This tour should take approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete. Completion times can vary depending on natural factors outside of our control such as water levels, flow rates on the rivers, wind speed / direction of wind, etc.

We recommend wearing pants that are quick drying and shoes that can get muddy and wet (flip flops not recommended). There can be wind coming off the glacier or from the ocean, so we highly recommend you wear a non cotton base layer, quick drying shirt and pants, a fleece jacket and rain jacket/windbreaker. Lastly, a hat with a draw cord or a beanie is encouraged. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are happy to work with you to make this tour accessible. This tour is good for beginners and children. Fee includes Kayak, paddle, life jacket, waterproof phone case, snack and tour guide.
