Mendenhall Lake Canoe Adventure

Overview

Paddle across Mendenhall Lake, navigating past icebergs, surrounded by Alaskan wildlife on an exceptionally stable, 28-foot, traditional Tlingit-style canoe, with all modern safety gear supplied. Venture within a safe distance of the awe-inspiring face of the Mendenhall Glacier and the beautiful Nugget Falls where you will hit the beach and refuel for the return paddle with an Alaskan-style snack. Due to the close approach to the glacier face, the Forest Service tightly controls the number of participants. Be one of the lucky few to experience this one-of-a-kind adventure!

I was a little worried after seeing some of the more recent reviews but we had a great time overall. Because the boats were a little bit more crowded it allowed our kids to not have to worry about rowing. The kids were cold and in true kid fashion were ready to be done. It was chilly but totally doable, especially with all of the gear on. We were able to see the glacier just fine on the 1:30 tour but heard the tour before us couldn't see it at all due to the fog. Spent a few minutes at Nugget Falls before rowing back. Wasn't able to see the other portions of the park but had talked to someone selling tours to see if we could/should do both but they said only one was necessary.

I wouldn’t recommend this excursion to older people especially if they have shoulder problems and/or don’t like the cold/rain.

More work rowing than expected, picture was misleading bc didn’t get that close to glacier at all, other canoe crew ate all the snacks at beach bc we were second canoe to get there and we almost crashed into other canoe based on guide’s judgement when got back.
