They moved to Alaska in 2020, fell in love with the Mat-Su Valley, and are lucky enough to call this place home for our young family. We started Paddlesports By True North AK in 2022 as a way to further explore this beautiful valley and all the waterways with our children, our friends, and now you. We look forward to serving you and your family on your next Alaska Adventure!
This is probably one of our favorite shots we have ever done for our business! Done on an iPhone in one hand and a kayak paddle in the other.
Alaska has some truly amazing places and Pioneer Peak is one such place. Seeing it each day as the season changes is such gift. ...
Out enjoying the crisp early fall air here in Alaska! It’s such a great time of the year to go kayaking. The leaves are starting to turn! It’s truly a beautiful experience to watch this land move gracefully from one season to the next.
Out kayaking last night with some guests from Connecticut. They had such an amazing time adventuring on our two-hour Discover Kayaking trip.

Thank you to the Visit Mat Su staff who came out on our guided 1/2-day Knik River Tour. Be sure to check out the full video of this tour on their YouTube channel.
Starting at Jim Lake in the Mat-Su Valley, this wonderful tour courses through the pristine and glacier fed waterways of the Knik River Valley!
Getting out and seeing the Knik Glacier by Kayak is a truly amazing experience. Just the sheer power of ice and rock.
Despite the rain the past few days it has been a great time to get outside and enjoy this amazing landscape!
Bears down at the Fishing Hole!
Floating with the family and some friends.
Last night was a great time to get everyone out on the river and just enjoy Alaska as a Family. Being a family-owned business has its perks.
It was a great day to be out on the water today. Thank you to our groups from Minnesota, California, and Anchorage Ak for spending the day with us!

Bears, bears, bears!
We love sighting our furry friends on our trips. This mama and cubs were spotted tonight along our lazy river float.
Yesterday was a crazy day of two back to back tours. We had both a maxed out Ladies Only Float Trip, followed our biggest group we have ever had. Despite the rain it was all in all a great day out on the river!
Needless to say we are a bit tired today!
It’s time to play out on the Knik River Alaska!
Just out floating the rivers
It was a great afternoon for a float down the Knik River.
Adventuring a word that means to engage in exciting activity, especially the exploration of unknown territory.
We here love a good water adventure this time of the year.
The view from the office today!
Out enjoying that Alaskan Summer!
Summer solstice floats.
Alaska is a truly magical place. Those long summer days with the midnight sun makes for some incredible float trips at night.
I’ll load it up for another day out adventuring in Alaska!
Gone Fishing!
Yesterday was our first ever fishing by paddle craft adventure. This paddling adventure was a good float down chasing those fish. You know what they say a bad day fishing sure beats a good day at work.
Just the view from the office today!
It’s been another busy day today. We’ve been everywhere from Anchorage to the valley out Eklutna.
It’s been absolutely beautiful weather for being out on the water. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

What a crazy busy day! here in our neck of the woods of Alaska it was 78° today and blue skies. Between the rental side of the business and the guided trips today it was hopping.

Finger Lake Alaska is coming alive again! The ice is dispersing and the wildlife is starting to come back. Spring in Alaska is a great time to be outdoors. #visitalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu #alaskatravel #travelalaska #palmeralaska #adventuretime #youneedalaska #familyvacation
Just out scouting a potential location, and came across this little guy swimming in the water! #alaskawildlife #visitalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu #alaskatravel #palmeralaska #travelalaska #youneedalaska

We had a blast having your family come out with us! #alaska #familytime #visitalaska #travelalaska #yahoomatsu #visitanchorage #familyvacation
Our Jr Guides say winter is so over! They are outside finding the best puddles to play in and whipping that snow into shape for our upcoming warm weather season here in Alaska. Alaska is a great place to vacation with kiddos. If you need travel advice and or our favorite spots in Alaska with our kids feel free to reach out.#alaska #youneedalaska #alaskafamilyvacation #travelalaska #visitalaska #yahoomatsu #visitanchorage
Just a few furry friends! Not much to see outside your window in Alaska! #alaska #youneedalaska #visitalaska #travelalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu #alaskawildlife #wildlife
Our little helpers! Being a family-owned business means our kids do all the same adventures we do. This weekend was no exception to that. They enjoyed a bit of springtime ice fishing in Alaska. #alaska #visitalaska #travelalaska #icefishing #familyadventures #youneedalaska #yahoomatsu #visitanchorage
Alaska the beautiful! Alaska is always amazing, however spring takes the cake as the most visually stunning. The mix of the snow, ice, warm weather, flowing water in some areas, and the fact that you can go paddling on one body of water and ice fishing on the next. This makes spring in Alaska so appealing! #alaska #visitalaska #travelalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu #travel #traveltheworld #alaskakayak #kayaking #kayakingadventures
Spring Paddle Alaska! Spring is in the air here in Alaska so it is time to get out paddling! Woot woot it was such a great time to be outside enjoying the warm weather! Thank you Danika Sunders for being crazy enough to get outside and paddle today! #alaska #kayakadventures #kayaking #alaskakayak #visitalaska #travelalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu
Spring ice fishing in Alaska! With warmer temperatures and longer days, Alaska spring is a great time of year to get outside. We offer winter gear rentals and guided trips as long as there is ice and snow to get out on. We look forward to seeing you this spring! #alaska #visitalaska #travelalaska #springinalaska #visitanchorage #yahoomatsu
