Aniakchak River
Lying entirely within Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve, you can float the river from inside the caldera of a volcano to the ocean past spectacular wildlife and geology. The river moves swiftly through a narrow gorge, and large rocks demand precise maneuvering. Only the most experienced rafters contemplate this float trip that takes three to four days to complete.
