Has anyone taken a kayak on these rivers in Alaska?
I’m agonizing hard over whether to take my Feathercraft Kahuna or an inflatable kayak to do this float, and I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has floated the river and can comment on its kayakability.
It would be key to have the foldable to paddle around Naknek Lake when I’m in that area (four days or so) and on the lower river, which is wide and about 2mph. It’s the upper river which is the big question mark – too shallow for a loaded kayak? Too many obstacles for a 14’9" boat?
Did some Boo huntin around

Thanks! Been a while since I
checked this, but I still haven’t completely decided . . . the working decision is that I’ll suffer and pay and strain with both boats through the airports and leave one or the other at a hotel in King Salmon. Thanks for the reference and idea for another trip!
