Tangle Lakes is a spectacular Interior Alaska float in the heart of the Eastern Alaska Range, about 4 hours south of Fairbanks.
Start the trip paddling across the lakes (hopefully without headwind). Eventually the outlet forms the Delta River. Class V rapids are easy to portage before a section of fast and fun Class III boulder gardens. Finish with a leisurely but exciting and gorgeous Class I/II river.
Below is a panoramic overview shot of the lakes as it begins to form the Delta River. Opposite the lake are the Amphitheater Mountains, all awash in fall colors.
