The mighty Yukon River is a major watercourse through northwest North America. During our Holland America Yukon/Alaska land tour we followed a large portion of the Yukon River. The river had a huge impact on transporting Klondike gold stampeders, tourists, Indian tribes, supplies and animals on boats, water source for many northwest cities, and of course providing fish for food. We saw the river from the air, buses, town hiking trails, a paddle wheeler boat and highway overlooks. We had well over 3 hours worth of visitations due to the various activities centered around this historic river.

We followed this river from Dawson City to Whitehorse, cruised it on a paddleboat in Dawson City and enjoyed it's beauty at many stops. The history of this river as a transportation system for Klondike gold miners back in 1898 is fascinating and we heard many stories of hardship and triump,

Paddling the Yukon River is a life-changing experience. As you journey along this historic route, the Yukon River weaves its way into your soul. The river moves quickly, but not too quickly for a family trip with children.
Our journey started at Lake Laberge, where we were transported with our canoes and gear with Up North Adventures. We were two families travelling together, and we booked three canoes for 8 of us. We had pre-made all our lunches and dinners by dehydrating meals in advance. Waterproof bear barrels and drybags are a must on this journey, as is goretex for the whole family. Be sure to splurge on the rainpants, as you'll be thankful you have them if you get rain.
We paddled 216 km in five days, four nights. The first day, we paddled 35 km, followed by three longer days (55 to 70 km per day) and a final 15 km on the last day of our journey. This was not strenuous for our crew (kids are aged between 9-13). We travelled without a guide as two of our crew are seasoned outdoors people.
We loved every minute of our journey. It's peaceful and beautiful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors and yearns to experience part of the route followed by the gold seekers.

Great to look at as it is very scenic and travels through some rugged territory.
It also functions as a significant lifeline and transportation system for folks living in the remote wilderness.
Always worth a stop and a photo.

We just finished the most amazing trip, paddling down the Yukon river for about 8 days with Mark and his team. I fell in love with these people on day 1. They are fun, extremely professional, caring and organized. You feel safe 24/7. From amazing story telling, to good food (Freshly baked goods in the middle of nowhere, really!!), breath taking views and quality time, I highly recommend traveling with Sea To Sky Expedition if you love the outdoors. Can't wait for the next trip with you guys!

Visitors to the Yukon will most likely come across the Yukon River more than once as it forms the backbone of both Whitehorse and Dawson City and also is visible along the way. At the very least it deserves some time inside of Yukon's two major urban centers. Perhaps best in this case is the Yukon River campground in Dawson City, which feels like it is in the middle of the wilderness even though it is not far from town.

We completed the trip in 10 days averaging approx. 70 kilometers a day. We had a time constraint but it would have been nice to have had another 2 days to spend on the river. Definitely any less time and you would be missing some spectacular sites. So much to see...from spectacular views, wildlife and historic sites. The five finger rapids were easily navigated if you stay far right. Over-all you don't need to be an expert canoeist but some experience is appropriate with at least someone who's more competent.

The river runs right through the city. Makes for such a great scenic walk or morning run, as there is a path right along the water.

We were beside this river many times on our journey through the Yukon on our way to Alaska. At one of our stops several hours north of Whitehorse , Yukon ,we saw a small pup tent along the river and then went over and visited with a 22 year old man from Germany. He had flown into Whitehorse several days earlier, purchased a canoe, some food items, etc, and was canoeing all the way to the Bering Straight. Once he reaches that point he said he would try and sell the canoe , or gift it, and then fly back home to Germany. I got his mothers email address and sent her an image of us all. He was anxious to get to the next place where he could buy groceries and especially some meat. My sister in law gifted him with some cash. We wished him well and continued on our journey. His journey will take best part of two months. It was a unique experience visiting with this young man.

Is there a way to rent a power boat for a day trip to Ft. Selkirk? Perhaps around Minto? If we were to rent a canoe, how would we get both ways?
Rédigé le 17 décembre 2014
It's a bit tricky to rent power boats in the Yukon (especially for a day). There used to be an outfitter offer day tours to Fort Selkirk from Minto but they don't offer those anymore as far as we know.
Maybe you want to go down the river by canoe? It's a lot of fun and a great way to see the real Yukon.
