Whitehorse Fish Ladder and Dam

The Whitehorse Fish Ladder is the longest wooden Fish Ladder in the world. Spot Chinook Salmon on their way to their spawning grounds as they pass through this observation site. Glass windows in a viewing area allow you to see salmon, grayling and trout all at one time. The Whitehorse Dam is well worth seeing! Kayakers and canoeists are often seen at play in the waters below the Dam.

SS Klondike

This sternwheeler greets most visitors as they enter our city, and represents an age when the City of Whitehorse served a major function as the transportation hub of this entire region, taking miners, their families and those who wished to take advantage of the Gold Rush to the Klondike. This sternwheeler may be toured today. Easy access & RV parking.

Miles Canyon Lookout (Mile 910 Alaska Hwy)

The view from the signed viewing area is spectacular but then so is the view from alongside the canyon itself. Walk across the suspension bridge and take one of the trails along the canyon.

Schwatka Lake (Miles Canyon Road)

Anytime from early morning to when the sun sets, drive from town and watch small planes land and take off, enjoy a boat trip up the canyon, or just enjoy the scenic drive past many beautiful little spots until you reach the highway.

Yukon Arts Centre

After enjoying the Gallery at the Yukon Arts Centre, step outside and walk to the end of the lawn. The spectacular view afforded to those who find this spot is worth it. Easy access for RVs and wheelchairs.

Fish Lake Road (Mile 889.4 Alaska Hwy)

A well-kept secret, this road leads to some spectacular scenery – Fish Lake, a wilderness ranch and the Ibex Valley. Visit the fish hatchery on the way up, and enjoy the view on the way down. It’s just as beautiful when it’s covered in snow.

Atop Grey Mountain

For those with a 4×4 or a lot of stamina and a mountain bike, Grey Mountain is not to be missed. Use caution. The view encompasses the entire Whitehorse area including Laberge and Marsh lakes. Not for RVs.

Winter fun under the northern lights

Take a dog sled ride, you’ll love it! Arrange a ride with one of the many outfitters. You can go for 1/2 hour, 1/2 a day or for a real expedition. Visit Takhini Hot Springs and swim outdoors at 20 below surrounded by walls of ice that help keep the wind at bay. This is an experience! Visit in February. Get a real taste of northern living by participating in Frostbite, the 3 day musical event, quickly followed by Rendezvous, our own winter festival. If you’re an adventure seeker, try heli-skiing, winter camping, snowshoeing, ice fishing, x-country skiing, drinking hot toddies and dancing till dawn (10:45 am).
