Alatna River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alatna River is a federally-designated wild and scenic river in Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska. It is called one of the most beautiful rivers in America. The river is very popular for float trips due to its calm flow and wonderful scenery. Float trips usually take four to seven days, depending on weather conditions. One common place to put in is at Circle Lake, a small lake which is float plane accessible and is located in a beautiful part of the valley. Another place to put in is at Takahula Lake, a larger, float- plane accessible lake, further downstream or upstream at Gaedeke lake. Most floaters take out at the village of Allakaket, 85 miles downstream of Circle Lake and 75 miles downstream of Takahula lake.
