EasyThe Nisutlin River is a beautiful, wild river nestled among picturesque mountains, making it ideal for a first family canoeing experience with children.
This 130 km stretch of river flows through low wetlands with a gentle current and no technical difficulties, making it an excellent choice for young or beginner paddlers.
Despite its minimal difficulty, it is still a wild river, home to bears, moose, and abundant migratory birds to observe and enjoy.
The trip ends at Nisutlin Bay on Teslin Lake, near the village of Teslin.

DAY 1 : ARRIVAL IN WHITEHORSE

DAY 2 : WHITEHORSE – NISUTLIN RIVER
Our driver will transfer the group via the Alaska Highway to your starting point on the Nisutlin River.
