Beaver River: Explore Secret Waterways
Beaver River: Explore Secret Waterways
Join us on this iconic river expedition!
A short float plane ride will take you into the heart of Yukon's wilderness to the start of your 15 day-long adventure.
The Beaver River is a hidden gem in the Yukon’s remote northeastern corner. It is a true wilderness river: a place of deep quiet, clear water, abundant fish and wildlife, and views of the rugged Nadaleen Range. This tour is a genuine canoe expedition, requiring a variety of canoe techniques that will keep things interesting — yet nowhere does the river demand advanced whitewater skills, making it perfect for adventurous beginners or intermediate paddlers. We’ll navigate a chain of lakes and narrow creeks, negotiate fast water and tight bends, portage short distances, float wide sections of easy river, and even have the chance to run a few short rapids. A relatively short float plane charter from the village of Mayo keeps costs low.
For a complete experience of Yukon’s remote and stunning northern mountains, we recommend combining this trip with our trekking tour into the nearby Tombstone Ranges, at the headwaters of the Beaver River.
