Big Salmon River
White Water Class: IIOverview:
The Big Salmon River is one of the most popular rivers to canoe in the Yukon. There are not very many rapids on this river, but you should know how to avoid "Sweepers" (overhanging trees) and "log-jams" (built up driftwood).
Paddlers often see moose in the Big Salmon River area. King salmon come to spawn in August and with a little luck you will see bears and other wildlife along the river.
