Welcome to Yukon SUP
In August 2014 I did one of the greatest adventure in my lifetime. I paddled down the Yukon River 460km form Carmacks to Dawson City, together with Stuart from SUP-Yukon.
How did I get this idea? Well, it is not the first time I will travel that region. In 2011 I was on an Alaska cruise from Vancouver via Anchorage to Fairbanks. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful and I decided to come back in this area again.
The Yukon is a relatively quite river with next to no rapids except the Five Finger Rapids in Carmacks. There are many canoe tour services available on the 740kms between Whitehorse and Dawson City but not one of them would accept me with a SUP.
After a bit of research I found Stuart from SUP-Yukon in Whitehorse. Stuart opened his business in 2013/14 and offers day trips and multiday adventures in the Yukon.
The Trip in 2014 was a perfect test ride for both of us.
You will find more information about the 2014 trip here
In 2016 we plan to do the first part of the Yukon River between Lake Laberge and Carmacks (or Minto). This part will not be as long as the last one, but we also plan to do one week after the Grand Canyon from Diamond Creek
- More Information is coming soon.
