Big Salmon River Trip

Quiet Lake to Little Salmon with a stay at our cozy trapping cabin!

1/1

An iconic Yukon wilderness canoe trip that starts in the heart of the Big Salmon mountain range and finishes on the wide waters of the Yukon river. A challenging river for intermediate paddlers that includes twists and turns, fun wave trains, and scenic rock gardens. This river offers a great variety of scenery, great fishing, and the chance to view abundant wildlife. A truly remote Yukon river trip.

Our family has operated a trapline on this river for years and James knows the river well. Your trip will include a stop over at our cozy cabin where you can help (if you desire) with the summer preparation of a Yukon trapline.

Food on the river is delicious and nourishing for your active days in the canoe and while on hikes away from the water.
