Tanacross

The Tanacross boat ramp provides access to the Tanana River, a large, slow-moving river in Interior Alaska. The ramp is located in the community of Tanacross, about 1.5 hours southeast of Fairbanks.

The Tanana River is a major waterway, draining over 5,000 square miles. At this location, the river is nearly half a mile wide with negligible current, making it well-suited for kayaking, canoeing, and powerboating. The river has an average depth of around 10 feet and is relatively flat, with no significant rapids or drops.

Parking is available near the ramp, though the specific facilities may vary. Visitors should check for any posted regulations or fees. This access point can serve as a starting or ending point for multi-day river trips on the Tanana. Paddlers and boaters should always be prepared for changing weather and river conditions when venturing out on this large, remote river system.
