Hi all!
Been browsing these forums for a while now, but haven't had an overwhelming need to post until recently, so here I am. I'm currently living in Anchorage, Alaska, after having hopped around the country over the last decade or so (CA, MI, WI, AZ, OK). I cut my teeth on canoe tripping while in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and after some time away from it in less canoe friendly areas, I'm jumping back into it up in the 49th state.
I've been finding a few good canoe trail systems to paddle in the southcentral region, the Swan Lakes/Swanson river system in the Kenai peninsula being one, and the Nancy Lakes recreation area being the other. This summer I'll be checking out some of the downriver trip options, as well as hopping across to the Yukon Territory as well. I'm currently renting boats for the trips I take, but I'm working on a pack boat build to handle some smaller day trips and weekend outings, I'll be posting about that in the Paddlecraft forum soon!
Looking forward to getting more out of these forums as an active member! Any other AK paddlers around here?
