This flat water paddle covers over 150 miles of the legendary Yukon River that travels through a narrow floodplain and hilly forest terrain of interior Alaska. The trip offers plenty of solitude and lots of opportunity for viewing wildlife and enjoying nature. This stretch of river runs between the communities of Eagle and Circle with no other access areas along the way so plan to spend at least 3-7 days to cover the distance. There are multiple public use cabins along the river and lots of good campsites to accommodate a multi-day trip. The river consists of mainly class I waters but wind can result in some rougher waters. The trip is long and travels through a very remote area so backcountry paddling experience is a must. The shuttle between the put-in and take-out can be challenging due to remote highways and few services so you may want to consider using one of the multiple outfitters that rent and shuttle boats between Eagle and Circle. Charter planes can also be used for transportation between the two towns.
