ユーコンのおすすめツーリングルート

Hidden Lake sits in an urban area behind Porter Creek School, tucked away in a swath of forest. This lake often has many fallen trees floating in its water, and it is buggy in the summer.

The Miles Canyon Suspension Bridge spans the emerald-green waters of the Yukon River where it flows through the volcanic rock walls of Miles Canyon. The bridge was built in 1922 to help cross the Yukon River before there were any nearby roads. Today's modern suspension bridge was built in the same spot and is a pedestrian-only bridge that gently sways.

This is the main parking area for north Fish Lake, and the spot to launch a boat at the north end of the lake, at the designated fishing zone. This parking area is an excellent option if you don't have 4-wheel drive with decent clearance to explore the rest of the lake or access trailheads like Fish Lake Trail and Knuckle Ridge Trail.

Shipyards Park sits near the original Whitehorse shipyards and boat-building sites used during the early 20th century. Still, today the park stands as a walkable museum, with sculptures and historical buildings. The park's open, grassy area is excellent for picnics, and it's a popular spot for lunch boats to gather in the summer.

The Whitehorse Indian Mission School Memorial is a reminder of the history of colonization and cultural suppression in the Yukon, as well as the strength of survivors of the Kwanlin Dün and Ta’an Kwäch’än peoples. Please ensure the utmost respect upon visits. All within a stone's throw sit the Healing Totem, Yukon River Viewing Wharf, MacBride Museum of Yukon History, and so many other art and historical learning opportunities.

Whitehorse, the capital and largest city of the Yukon Territory in northwestern Canada, sits on the Yukon River, North America's third-longest river. Whitehorse is home to one of the world's longest wooden fish ladders that let salmon bypass the hydroelectric dam. The Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch’än Council lived here and used this river 10,000 years before settlers arrived.

The Yukon River Trail is the best way to see downtown Whitehorse, passing the visitor center, multiple parks, art installations, and historical plaques. The whole trail offers views of the Yukon River to the east, stunning at all times of year, but the temps can drop to -40°C during a cold snap.

This parking area is an excellent option if you don't have 4-wheel drive with decent clearance, as the official trailhead parking is down a rougher road 30 meters away. The entire road is dirt, so 4-wheel drive is safer for accessing the lake, especially in wet conditions. Hiking to the Fish Lake Trail from this parking area will give you more time to enjoy lakeside views.
