Float the Chena with Friends and FamilyPlan the Perfect Group Adventure
on the Chena River
CanoeAlaska makes it easy to coordinate unforgettable group outings on the Chena River in Fairbanks. Whether you’re planning a school field trip, corporate retreat, youth program, wedding party activity, or a big family adventure, we specialize in organizing smooth, safe, and fun river experiences for groups of all sizes.
With the largest fleet of canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards in Fairbanks, CanoeAlaska can easily accommodate large groups—and even fully customize your river trip to match your schedule and goals.
Flexible Trip Options for Any Group
Large groups can choose from our popular day trips, including:
- Pioneer Park → Pikes Landing Float
- Scenic Lower Chena Float
(Nordale Bridge → Pioneer Park)
Or create a custom trip starting right in Downtown Fairbanks, floating through the heart of the city, and ending at several convenient take-out locations along the Chena River.
Custom Scheduling for Groups
While CanoeAlaska prefers to launch large groups in the morning—when river traffic is lightest and logistics are easiest—we are happy to work with your schedule. If your group needs a specific launch time, we’ll do everything we can to accommodate it.
Groups who choose to float before our regular rental window (11:00am–4:00pm) are eligible for early-start discounts.
