Paddling the Yukon River and its Tributaries covers more than 4,000 miles of watery trail. The Yukon, Tanana, Porcupine, Koyukuk, and Kuskokwim Rivers are the five longest rivers in Alaska, extending into the Yukon Territory. This water flows freely, almost entirely undammed. Salmon surge against current. Moose, bears, and wolves wander the banks. Birds swarm in spectacular density. Roads rarely cross. Many residents live a subsistence lifestyle. No permits are required to be here. These channels are a natural path through the last large wilderness in North America. Paddling the Yukon River and its Tributaries approaches journeys of this magnitude like a through-hiker on the Appalachian Trail, but with a canoe or kayak. Each river is described from beginning to end, detailing access points, resupply options, and navigation tips throughout the flow. There are 35 original maps. Although the approach assumes long voyages, information is supplied for a range of trip lengths. Anything from an afternoon to a weekend to a week to a two-month float is possible. Paddling the Yukon River and its Tributaries is the only guide book to paddling the entire Yukon River from beginning to end.

This review is from: Paddling the Yukon River and it's Tributaries (Perfect Paperback)
Excellent-- a wonderful planning tool for any trip on the Yukon River and tributaries. The detail, estimated time for trip segments, planning maps, etc. make this book a must for anyone planning a trip on these rivers. While I have not paddled any of the trips described in the book so I can not atest to accuracy, the information is First-Hand from the authors solo trips on the Yukon and tributaries -- giving me confidence that the book is an excellent planning tool. Well written and organized. Highly recommended.
