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. This trip starts out on the Chisana River and follows it to the confluence with the Tanana. This section of the Tanana is very slow and travels through lush swamp and forest terrain. The river does break off into multiple channels at times but following the widest channel with the most water should make it simple to navigate. The take-out at the Alaska Highway bridge is fairly accessible but leaving cars parked there for long periods of time is not advised so arranging for a shuttle is the best way to go.
