About

<cite index="31-14,31-20">Little Salmon River runs from Little Salmon Lake to the Yukon River junction, accessed from the Robert Campbell Highway, flowing past creek confluences including Snowcap and Bearfeed</cite>. This lesser-known tributary offers an intimate wilderness experience with solid camping at Little Salmon Lake campground as the launch point. The river connects to the main Yukon River at Little Salmon Village, historically significant as an abandoned First Nations settlement and key access point on the Yukon River paddling route. <cite index="32-6,32-7">The Little Salmon River comes in at mile 160/km 256 on the Yukon, with road access to Little Salmon allowing paddlers to terminate trips here with prior arrangements</cite>. Best paddled June through August when water levels support paddling. This is a relatively undocumented route requiring local knowledge.
