The Tanana River boat ramp in Nenana, Alaska provides access to this major river system for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The Tanana River is a large, slow-moving waterway, with a total length of 0.30 miles and an average elevation of 514.80m. Paddlers can use this access point to reach the river and explore the surrounding lakes and wetlands.
The boat ramp is located off the Alaska Highway, with existing parking and a vault toilet facility. During the winter, the area may be accessible by snowmachine as well. While the river itself has very little current in this section, boaters should be aware of the Tanana River's size, with a drainage area of over 5,000 square miles. For paddlers looking to avoid the main river, there is a connecting channel between the Tanana River and Tanana Lake that provides a calmer alternative for exploring the area's lakes and wetlands.
