Mendenhall Glacier Float

An exciting, yet gentle introduction to white water rafting. Fun for all ages!

Your adventure begins with a scenic tour to Mendenhall Lake where you'll have an excellent view of the glacier - one and a half miles wide and one hundred and fifty feet high.  Floating past the Mendenhall Glacier on its iceberg studded lake, you will be treated to spectacular views of hanging glaciers, towering peaks and glacial topography.  Encounter stretches of moderate rapids that add excitement to the trip.  An entertaining guide will explain the natural phenomena at work in this scenic valley.
