The Delta River is a National Wild and Scenic River located in Interior Alaska. This river is mostly a class I and II run that attracts many canoes, but there are some whitewater sections. The first is a short canyon run (III+ to -IV) below the unrunnable waterfalls at mile 9. The second set of rapids is a two mile section (mile 40 - 42) called "Black Rapids" (III to III+). This section is scoutable from the adjacent Richardson Highway.
