Canoeing through Natural Heritage – Thirty Mile River

Canoeing the Thirty Mile River with its blue-green waters and excellent fishing opportunities will be a perfect summer getaway. No previous canoeing experience is required.

The Thirty Mile River is a relatively narrow channel. It begins at the outflow of Lake Laberge and ends at the confluence of the Teslin River. Between the geological features and the cultural heritage the history is evident along the way.

We will pick you up at your hotel in Whitehorse and drive to Lake Laberge (approx 30min) where we will load all our gear in a motor boat which will shuttle us to the end of Lake Laberge, this is when our canoeing trip really begins.

After a short paddle we will set up camp for the night along the shores of the Yukon, and enjoy a delicious meal cooked by our experienced wilderness guide.

The next morning we continue canoeing down the Thirty Mile River and learn about the history along the way. In total we will be paddling for 2 half days and 3 full days, the length of each day depends on weather and water conditions.

At the end of our canoeing adventure our shuttle will pick us up in Carmacks. From there is will be approx a 2 hour trip back to Whitehorse.

If you want this to be a more well rounded adventure and spend more time with our amazing dogs, you can add on a night at our lodge on either end of the trip.
