The Chena Pump Road boat ramp provides direct access to the Tanana River, a large, navigable river in Fairbanks, Alaska. The ramp is located approximately 2 miles southwest of the Mitchell Expressway overpass, off Chena Pump Road.
The Tanana River is a sizable waterbody, with a total length of 0.30 miles and a watershed spanning 5,392 square miles. However, the river has a very low average flow of 0 cubic feet per second and a negligible gradient of 0 feet per mile. These characteristics make the Tanana well-suited for calm, flatwater paddling and boating.
The boat ramp itself is a basic, dirt/gravel launch site, without any additional amenities like picnic areas or restrooms. It does not appear to have any ADA accessibility features. Paddlers and boaters should come prepared with all necessary gear, supplies, and safety equipment before launching onto the Tanana River from this access point.
