Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip
Experience the beauty of the Mendenhall Glacier from the water on this thrilling float trip down the Mendenhall River!
Your adventure begins with a scenic, narrated ride to Mendenhall Lake, where you'll gear up and board a custom-made raft for an unforgettable journey. Glide across the serene waters of the lake, taking in spectacular views of Mendenhall Glacier, before starting your five-mile trip downstream.
As you float along the Mendenhall River, your experienced guide will navigate the changing waters. For a more relaxed experience, sit back and enjoy the scenery. If you're feeling adventurous, opt for a paddle raft, where you'll help steer through a one-mile stretch of Class II rapids, following your guide's commands.
Along the way, your guide will share insights about the glacier, river, and surrounding wilderness. Keep an eye out for wildlife, including Arctic terns, bald eagles, salmon, and even bears along the shoreline. At the end of your journey, head to shore to warm up with an Alaskan snack and a hot beverage.
