Enjoy a wonderful float trip down the Fortymile Wild and Scenic River with an American Outdoors outfitter, and an experience the diversity of Alaska!
The Fortymile offers a great way to see the differing landscapes of the interior of Alaska, from incised canyons to the wide-open Yukon Valley. Rising in the Yukon-Tanana uplands, the Fortymile flows into the Yukon River, about a two day float. Several road accessible boat launch sites in the middle river, and bush strips in the upper reaches, allow trips varying from one day to two weeks. The Fortymile was the site of the first major gold strike in Alaska, and the history of the area is written in the cabins and mine workings along the stream.
