Kobuk River Points

Float an addi­tion­al 100 miles to the vil­lage of Kiana on riv­er right.

From here you can catch a com­mer­cial flight back to Kotze­bue or per­haps on to Fair­banks, depend­ing on the air­lines schedules.

From here, char­ter a flight back to Fairbanks. 

After 45 miles the Squir­rel Riv­er con­flu­ence is seen on riv­er right and this marks your spot to get along the right shore, as Kiana is only a cou­ple miles fur­ther down. The airstrip is back away from the riv­er but there are locals who will offer to help you move your gear to where it is. Check at the local store for assis­tance and offer to pay some­one 20 bucks to use their 4‑wheeler.

Cold­foot is locat­ed on the Dal­ton High­way and can be dri­ven to from Fair­banks. Walk­er Lakes has been the most com­mon start­ing point but a float­plane could land you…  ...more
