Tucked up in the northwest corner of Canada, the Yukon is a paddler’s paradise. Vast, pristine landscapes, unparalleled wildlife viewing, rich First Nations culture and fascinating colonial history make this area a “must do” trip for paddlers of any ability.
The Nisutlin River, located in the southwest corner of the Yukon, is the one of the only south flowing rivers in the Yukon and it meanders gently towards the Nisutlin River Delta National Wildlife Area, Yukon’s most significant staging area for migratory waterbirds every fall. This is your opportunity to explore and experience the land of the midnight sun. and to reconnect with the land and water. Join us this summer as you connect to land and water in one of the last true wild places.
This river expedition is the perfect option for someone’s first multi day river trip. if you have solid flatwater paddling experience you will not need any additional training (although specific river training would be really beneficial) for this river as it is a meandering class 1+ with a few areas where you will experience fun and bouncy wave trains. On this trip there is easy paddling, ample beach sites, bird and wildlife viewing opportunities, fishing and more await you on this paddling journey. You will be required to carry all of your own camping gear including tent and sleeping bag but the rest of the trip is fully catered and all equipment included. Tent and sleeping bag rentals are available in Whitehorse if you require. If you are still not sure if this trip is right for you, just give Norm a call.
