Cold Weather Kayaking & Ice Fishing with True North AK in Wasilla

Wasilla, Alaska, presents an untouched Arctic playground where water and ice invite adventure year-round. Adventures by True North Ak stands out as a premier outfitter offering a comprehensive suite of paddle and ice-bound excursions that deliver an authentic Alaskan experience for both novices and seasoned outdoorsmen. Situated just 45 miles north of Anchorage, Wasilla serves as the gateway to the Kenai Peninsula and the broader Matanuska-Susitna Valley, with dramatic mountain views and pristine freshwater systems.

True North’s kayak tours on Jim Lake and the Knik River allow visitors to witness Alaska’s raw wilderness from a quiet vantage—gliding past spruce-lined banks with the Chugach Mountains looming in the distance. The inflatable kayaks and expert guides ensure safety and ease, making these trips accessible even to first-timers. Their attention to detail includes all gear, snacks, and transport logistics to create a seamless outing.

When winter grips the land, the adventure pivots to ice fishing and cold-weather kayaking, experiences enhanced by heated tents, sauna dips, and polar plunges that warm the soul as much as the body. Ice fishing by day can yield Arctic grayling or burbot beneath the frozen surface, guided patiently by locals who know the rhythms of ice and season.

True North also supports self-supported adventurers, offering gear rentals for camping, paddling, and winter pursuits. The Seven Mile Canoe Trail beckons paddlers eager to chart a path through interconnected lake systems surrounded by towering spruce and birch. Each trip reflects a deep respect for this complex ecosystem; guides share insights on local flora, eagle sightings, and the subtle geomorphology shaping these waters.
