That sure is a cute little blue boat in the opening 👍🏻

Great video, I have always wanted to run the Knik. What model of Wooldridge?

Thanks! It's a 2018 Alaskan XL 21' with Sportjet.

Where are you launching from ?, I only know about the bridge launch area

[@AlienSecretion0552]

About a mile up the north bank from the Old Glenn bridge.

@@AlienSecretion0552 Are you turning right at the north end of the bridge, going down the hill and crossing the small area of water (Bodenburg Creek)onto the beach ? If so, is the water deep ? Do you need 4x4 drive to cross ? Or are you entering from another location ? Thanks for getting back to me, planning on boat the River over the holiday weekend. Bob

@@roberttrotter4863 Yes, turning right if you’re on the old glenn heading into Palmer. Water at the crossing was up to the step bars on my 2500. Lots of vehicles crossing it so I don’t think it’s too bad. From there, the best launch is about a mile up the beach. This includes a drive on a narrow (truck-width) path. Just past where it widens back out is a good launching point. Post something about when you want to go on the South Central Jet Boat group on FB… I’m sure you can find someone to run it with. Always good to follow someone there the first time.
