The watershed was once a major copper mining region. ==Recreation== The Chitina River is suitable for floating in rafts, kayaks, and decked canoes by boaters with sufficient wilderness and whitewater skills.〔 From a put-in place near Hubert's Landing, slightly downstream of Chitina Glacier, the river is Class II (medium) on the International Scale of River Difficulty all the way to the mouth at Chitina.〔 Boaters starting from Hubert's Landing will have to make a difficult portage to reach the main river channel.〔 It is also possible to put in at Jake's Bar, about halfway between the glacier and the river mouth. The shorter trip requires no portage.〔 Hazards include cold silty water, bad weather, and the remote location.〔 Grizzlies pose a danger to boaters, especially near the mouths of clear tributaries, where the bears tend to congregate.〔 A variety of salmon, attractive to bears, migrate to and from these tributaries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chitina River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
