We offer daily trips down the thrilling Class IV and V Sixmile Creek near Hope, Alaska. We are Alaska's premier destination for whitewater adventure. Chugach Outdoor Center specializes in rafting trips down the thrilling and continuous Sixmile Creek, located near beautiful Hope, Alaska, at the doorway to the Kenai Peninsula. Sixmile Creek is known not only for its intense class IV and class V whit

ewater, dropping over 50 feet per mile as it cuts through three distinct canyons, but also for its sunning views, lush landscape, and abundant wildlife. Here at Chugach Outdoor Center, we take pride in showing our guests the best the creek has to offer and allowing you to tailor make your trip. For those seeking a relaxing float with stunning views of steep mountains and vibrant wildflowers, or just testing the waters for the first time, we offer the Turnagain Pass Float, suitable for children as young as 6. For those ready to jump in and experience the thrill of the canyons, we offer two options. The First and Second Canyon trip is perfect for those who want a thrill, but may be a bit nervous, or families with teenagers as young as 12. The Third Canyon offers roughly a mile and a half of steep, continuous class IV whitewater with five distinct class V rapids throughout it and is suitable for adventure seekers age 15 and up.

July is in full swing here on Six Mile Creek! Everyone is enjoying the lush greenery as it delights in our summer rains. This moisture is keeping everything fresh, giving guests and guides fun water levels (10.3ft) and beautiful temperatures (54F). Beating summer heatwaves in the lower 48 is the best part of an Alaskan vacation. We fix "too hot" really easily here, cold water splashing in your face will do that!
