Trip Overview
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. You’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.
