About

The Yukon River full route (Whitehorse to Dawson City, 715 km) represents the quintessential northern paddling pilgrimage through iconic landscapes steeped in 1898 Klondike Gold Rush history. Intermediate paddlers experience varied terrain from Lake Laberge's exposed waters to Five Finger Rapids' famous standing waves, historic abandoned settlements, and abundant wildlife viewing. The expedition-style journey takes 10-14 days, offering midnight sun camping, world-class scenery, and a genuine connection to northern heritage. Best June-August with careful attention to weather and water conditions.
