PEEL WATERSHED
PADDLING
10 TO 14 DAYS
Embark on a signature Yukon
experience: Join a multi-day canoe,
kayak or rafting trip on a remote
wilderness river in the Peel River
watershed. Choose from the
Snake (Gyuu Dazhoonjik), Wind
(Tr’iniintr’aiinjik), Bonnet Plume
(Tsaih Tl’ak Njik) and Hart (Edrìinjik)
rivers. Savour the fresh air, clean
water and expansive views. Enjoy
hiking, fishing and photography,
and expect to see wildlife like
bears and moose.
Day 1 – River Rendezvous
You’ll meet your guides in Whitehorse,
where you can buy gear and any last minute
essentials. You’ll drive to the put-in in Mayo,
gateway to the Peel River watershed.
Alternatively, a float plane can take you
to one of many rivers.

Day 2 – Nestled on a Riverbank
This is your first day on the river and your
first night camped under the Yukon’s glorious
midnight sun. You’re brushing up on your
J-stroke and poring over maps. You can
feel the river camaraderie building.
Days 3 to 10 –
The Rhythm of the River
The group is settling into a pleasing routine
of fresh mornings and endless storytelling
around the campfire, leisurely days of
paddling and hiking on scenic ridges
of the Wernecke Mountains.
Days 11 and 12 –
Until We Meet Again
All good things must come to an end, but
chances are you’ve already planned your next
Yukon paddling adventure before you’ve even
left the river. The return shuttle is reflective,
and you spend your last evening together
telling stories, sharing photos and enjoying
a fine meal.
