RV rental Chena River State Recreation Area, AK: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

If you decide to brave the cold winters, you can participate in snowmobiling, dogsledding, and snowshoeing on Chena River State Recreation Area camping trip. You’ll want to make it an overnight adventure to really see everything it has to offer. Chena River SRA has numerous desolate cabins equipped with stoves, sleeping platforms, tables, and an outhouse. Keep an eye out for Chena River’s winter residents, like the snowshoe hare and lynx. The Chena River itself is famous for kayaking, rafting, fishing, and swimming. There are numerous launch and take-out points for rafting and boating, and you’ll find at most Class II rapids in spots along the river. Fishing for sporty arctic grayling is especially popular in the Chena River. However, all fishing in the river is catch-and-release only. There are four stocked ponds within the recreation area full of rainbow trout and grayling that you can take back to your campsite for dinner. There's a vast network of trails here, including one that connects all three campgrounds at Chena River. These trails, some of which require an overnighter, follow ridgelines, go through the tundra, and descend into lush valleys. One of the most popular trails is the 15-mile Granite Tors Loop. This difficult trail eventually takes you to the Plain of Monuments, home of 100-foot tall granite spires that pierce the tundra.
