The Nizina River is one of Wrangell St. Elias National Parks river gems. Combining fun & challenging whitewater, giant icebergs floating in a glacial lake, “mile high” limestone cliffs and an extraordinary number of waterfalls, the this river expedition will please any adventurer in your crew.
The trip begins with a bush plane flight from McCarthy & drop off at Nizina & the terminus of the mighty Nizina Glacier. Spending the first day of the trip at Nizina lake allows for exploration of this recently glaciating area. Miles of wide open country makes this the ideal trip for hiking exploration off the river. Our river journey begins by negotiating icebergs in the lake, winding our way to the mouth of the Nizina River. Unrivaled beauty surrounds us as the river tumbles downstream. Class II and III whitewater make this a ‘must do’ Alaska river adventure.
Choose a four day expedition with a bush plane fly out at the confluence with the Chitina River or float 6 days and continue downstream on the Chitina River to the historic town of Chitina, Alaska. For sheer beauty and grandeur, this river is a must float!
