About This Access Site
Fish Creek is a large mountain river in Southeast Alaska near Juneau, characterized by significant elevation drop and strong gradient that creates dynamic whitewater conditions. The put-in location at approximately 58.3 degrees north latitude provides access to a stream order 6 waterway with an average flow of 25 cubic feet per second and considerable velocity averaging 1.54 feet per second. With nearly 2000 feet of total elevation loss over its course, this is an active alpine drainage system best suited for experienced paddlers comfortable with mountain river conditions and changing water dynamics.
