Water, water everywhere. This is music to the ears of kayakers looking to explore a land by paddle. And that's what you'll find in the Yukon, home to some of the wildest, cleanest rivers and lakes in North America.

If you're a whitewater kayaker you'll be spoilt for choice in the Yukon—and in most places you'll have the river all to yourself. Check out the rollicking Tutshi River or the world-class rapids of the Tatshenshini River. Serious kayakers will know about the Alsek River, a raging waterway through Kluane National Park with a succession of Class IV challenges. When you come up for air, you'll be surrounded by some of the most dramatic wilderness scenery you've ever seen.

If you prefer flatwater kayaking, vast glacier-fed lakes will lure you to the Yukon for a sea kayaking adventure. Explore the Southern Lakes, the network of deep lakes etched into the Coast Mountains that form the headwaters of the Yukon River. And on stunning Kusawa, Teslin and Frances lakes, you can find peace and quiet far from the din of daily life.
