The Yukon River is a Class 1-2 river in the Yukon Territory running from Marsh Lake in the south to the Bering sea in the north. We will only be paddling from Carmacks to Dawson--404 km of mostly wilderness but a bit of civilization every once in a while. We plan on stopping at certain historical locations like Fort Selkirk along the way, paddling at a moderate pace for 10 days. Solid river paddling skills and knowledge of rescue skills are required due to the remoteness of the river.

The dates do NOT include travel time to or from the Yukon, so at least 3 days will be required at the beginning and end of the trip if people will be driving up. We will be camping at Carmacks for one night at the start and at Dawson for one night at the end. 

Registration will open once we confirm pricing for camping and other items yet to be determined. We will also have some planning meetings for all who register to work out logistics such as meals, equipment, and travel.
