River Rafting Trip on Kodiak


Recently Patrick and 3 of his friends paddled 25 miles down a river on the south end of Kodiak. Phillip from South Africa made the long journey to Kodiak especially to see Kodiak Bears on the river! Luckily, they didn't run into very many! This left Philip somewhat disappointed, however. :)
The oxbows and twisty nature of the river made it difficult to compute 'river miles'. They floated all the way from Doughnut Lake to Bare Creek where a float plane picked them up.
Very few people float the East Fork of the Ayakulik (maybe one party every few years or so). Most people float the lower part of the Ayakulik from Bare Creek down to the sea. The little red 'C's on the map mark where they camped during their trip.
