  • Reflections Lake
    This paddling tour will start here and then we will shuttle you up the river system so we can float back to this location. It is approximately 16 miles on a Kayak/SUP from Jim Lake to Reflections Lake. If you want to come early or stay later, this is a great vantage point overlooking the Palmer Hay Flats and looking out to the Knik Arm of the Cook Inlet.
  • Paddle across Jim Lake to our first portage of this kayak/SUP tour. In Jim Lake we catch our first views of glaciers in the distance. After portaging we will follow McRoberts Creek down to where it empties into the Knik River.
  • The largest Glacier in South Central Alaska is your backdrop for this paddling tour. This glacier-formed valley is full of wildlife, such as moose, bears, eagles, and salmon just to name a few. Though we can not guarantee you will see wildlife on your tour. We will stop at a viewpoint of the mighty Knik Glacier in the distance. This is a great place for photos weather permitting.
  • After taking photos we will float in the Knik River to our lunch location of the Old Glen Highway Bridge. This river is glacier feed.
  • Palmer
    We will stop at the Old Glen Highway Bridge in Palmer/Butte Alaska for lunch and to stretch.
