Safety
The waters are cold and many of the locations remote. It doesn't matter which kind of boat you fall out of; cold water, rocks, rapidly changing conditions and bad judgment can kill you whether you are running a river, landing in dumping surf, or simply canoeing on a lake. Get informed, build your skills, use the right equipment and make sound judgments.
After all, what's the value of those great tales of adventure, if you're not around to tell them. Below are some helpful safety links for paddling Alaskan waters.
