Recreation
The Kanektok River, varying from Class I (easy) to II (medium) on the International Scale of River Difficulty, is floatable by many kinds of watercraft. The upper reaches below Kagati Lake are sometimes too shallow for boats. Below this, swift currents, braided channels, logjams, and overhanging or submerged vegetation make the float "not a trip for beginners."[4] In high water, the difficulty along the upper Script error: No such module "convert". of the river may increase to Class III (difficult).[4]
Alaska Fishing describes the river as "one of Alaska's most celebrated salmon and trout streams".[3] The main game fish are rainbow trout, char, Arctic grayling, king (Chinook), silver (Coho), chum, and red (sockeye) salmon. Anglers can float down from the headwaters, hire a boat to go upriver from Quinhagak, or fish near tent camps and lodges along the lower river.[3]
