Located in the southeast corner of the Yukon, the Beaver River takes you through a unique eco-region teeming with wildlife. There are two spectacular canyons and even some natural hotsprings to make the trip a little more special. This seldom travelled river is for paddlers with some moving water experience.

"The Beaver River begins its journey high in the Logan Mountains in the southeast Yukon. It travels through the oldest and richest boreal forest in the territory, carving through two canyons, picking up the warmth of hot springs, feeding large wetland complexes and then emptying into the Liard River. Setting off into the Beaver River during one of the wettest spells in the Yukon is intimidating. But all the rivers that guide Blaine Walden has paddled this summer have been in flood. Blaine beams to his group of paddlers and says "It'll be fine." It's reassuring to know about his 20 years of guiding on rivers this wild and remote."
