Chena River Fairbanks Alaska. Canoe Alaska on kayak

Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to kayak for the first time. Lived in Fairbanks 2 years and hadn't yet so my husband chose these guys and they were all so amazing. So we had such a fun time that we went back to do it again a few hours later with family members. Going at 11am was ideal. From Pioneer Park to Pump house took 90 minutes at a mostly leisure pace stopping once to swap seats. But our 2nd outing yesterday it started to rain then it poured hard rain on us and the owner of the company lived nearby and ran out to the bank and brought us in to shore and gave us a ride to our car. The owner was a sweetheart of a guy and the 2 employees at Pioneer Park were friendly and easy going who answered all sorts of questions about kayaking and any wildlife in the water. I very highly recommend Canoe Alaska Fairbanks after using them twice on my birthday. They helped make my day incredible and full of great memories.

Their website provided ease of booking and was way to use! When I got there everyone was super nice and I didn't have to transport the kayak anywhere as they're right on the waterfront! Super easy to find in town and a great trip overall! read more

We had the day free before heading home from our Alaska vacation on an 8 pm flight. Decided to rent kayaks and float down the river. This place is at the back of Pioneer Park. They have good inventory of boats and provide the paddles and life vests. The river is smooth from there to the pickup point (for us, a two hour paddle at a leisurely pace). Then they load you up and bring you back. Fun way to spend an afternoon. read more

Josh went on to pursue other activities while his parents continued the business until they retired in 2000. In 2015 Josh purchased Alaska Outdoor Rentals and Guides from Larry Katkin. Josh re-acquired the corporate name, CanoeAlaska, and is now operating under this name. J

Meet the Business Owner: Josh D.

Josh spent his childhood helping with canoe classes and running wilderness river trips with his parents. At age 18, Josh became a certified canoe instructor. He spent that summer teaching whitewater canoeing in North Carolina. The following year he returned to CanoeAlaska for a summer to devote his time to teaching classes and guiding wilderness river trips. Josh went on to pursue other activities while his parents continued the business until they retired in 2000. In 2015 Josh purchased Alaska Outdoor Rentals and Guides from Larry Katkin. Josh re-acquired the corporate name, CanoeAlaska, and is now operating under this name. Josh is glad to return to his roots, getting people canoeing and kayaking on Alaskan rivers.

Rented some XC skis for a bit of skiing at Birch Hill Park. Incredible deal, I literally said…read more"that's so cheap" when they told us the price. Then Mike, maybe he's the owner, gave us a ~15 minute rundown on XC skiing that helped us get off the ground. Then while AT the park, we ran into him while he was skiing, and he gave us some pointers while we were out there! Mike and the rest of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the location is perfect and the prices are probably unbeatable. Also, we didn't shop, but they have an extensive selection of fitness and outdoor gear as well.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I picked up some base repair Ptex sticks, and was given a tutorial…read moreon how to perform base repair on the spot.
