Journey across Mendenhall Lake in your stable kayak, navigating the iceberg-studded pristine water that is truly one of the jewels of the Tongass National Forest. Your guide will explain the nature surrounding you, pointing out native wildlife and fascinating you with the history and ecology of the Mendenhall Glacier.
