Welcome to Alaska Canoe School


What is Alaska Canoe School?

Our goal is to teach you basic to advanced canoeing skills so you can plan, and safely enjoy, your own canoe trips on flat water or gently moving rivers. Our canoe courses offer something for paddlers of all levels.
Fairbanks has great places to paddle right on our doorstep, from the Chena River flowing right through town, to Tanana Lakes and Chena Lakes. Opportunities abound for those with more skill who want to venture farther afield.

Owners, Tracie & Don Pendergrast
