MENDENHALL LAKE CANOE ADVENTURE
MENDENHALL LAKE CANOE ADVENTURE
ShoreTrips says...
Be among the select few, under a limited U.S. Forest Service permit, to travel by canoe for an unprecedented experience of the majestic Mendenhall Glacier.
Your tour begins by paddling across Mendenhall Lake, navigating past icebergs, surrounded by one of the richest samplings of Alaskan wildlife you’ll find anywhere. Birds, including arctic terns, nest in the towering cliffs, and eagles, goats, salmon, and bears are all common sights!
Next, venture within yards of the massive, awe-inspiring face of the living Mendenhall Glacier. Grab a thrill ride by skirting the base of beautiful and powerful Nugget Falls. Then refuel with a snack of Alaskan-style fare for the return trip.
You’ll make your trip in a traditional Tlingit-style canoe, an exceptionally stable 28-foot watercraft, with all modern safety gear supplied. Because of the close approach to the glacier face, the Forest Service tightly controls the number of participants. You'll be thrilled that you were fortunate enough to participate in this one-of-a-kind adventure!
