Kanentok river...

The Kanektok river, which empties into the Kuskokwim Bay at roughly 59°44'52"N Latitude, 161°55'08"W Longitude and the majority of the river is contained in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, which is 4.7 million acres. Within the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge is the Togiak Wilderness area and is protected by the Wilderness Act of 1964. More information hear: wilderness_act.pdf

The boundary of the Togiak Wilderness meanders; however, it is stated as being in the Northern part of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and is two million and seventy thousand acres. So, roughly half of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge is protected Wilderness (see map). The mighty Kanektok river is partial contained in the Togiak Wilderness and is protected.

I began my research by locating an area where I wanted to work as a professional guide. My research led me to the Kanektok river in South West, Alaska. I believe one important responsibility, as a professional guide, is to know the fisheries in which you guide; therefore, understanding the conservation, cultural and environmental issues are my priority. And I have found that the interpretive potential, of the Kanektok river, and Togiak Wilderness is endless.

Now, I have located the area, and the river, I want to guide on; I am actively seeking guide operations who provide service on the Kanektok River.

This course is offered once a year by Landmark Learning. They only except a small number of Wilderness Medicine Practitioner. Thankfully, I am able to attend the course and look forward, with great anticipation, to day one in Quito.
