The Alsek River is one of the best viewing locations for glaciers while kayaking and flows through the world's largest non-polar ice cap. It offers phenomenal adrenaline rushes on the rapids, but that's not all; it also offers two stunning, iceberg-filled lakes perfect for a break between the crazy rapids. On top of everything, it is also part of one of the world's largest bio-reserves, which gives kayakers the opportunity to see grizzly bears on the shore and bald eagles soaring through the air. Of course, the wildlife isn't the only reason to visit. The Alsek River is very long, flowing through Kluane National Park in Yukon, down into the well-known Northern British Columbia region, and to Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park. This feet makes for a brilliant way to experience Canada in one long kayaking trip. Be sure to take a break now and then and stick around for a few days in fantastic Canadian lodgings for a truly unforgettable experience.

Canada, the neighbor to the north offers fun kayaking opportunities for all. Following, this list will bring readers down to the United States for the next stunning place for kayaking adventure.
