Paddle the Keele River

Embrace your adventurous spirit and paddle the iconic and spectacular Keele River on a two-week journey through safe yet challenging rapids and swifts. With your experienced guides at Canoe North Adventures, explore the pristine Canadian wilderness near the Yukon border, and enter remote, unspoiled wild lands rich in wildlife, history and culture.

Fly by float plane into the headwaters of the Keele River and find yourself transfixed by the immense beauty of the terrain. Spend the next two weeks on a thrilling adventure along 350 kilometres of turquoise waters through gorgeous mountain scenery and alpine slopes with panoramic views. From your experienced guides, learn the skills needed to be safe and confident on the river. See caribou, moose, eagles and Dall's sheep. Discover an area steeped in Aboriginal history: learn how, for 12,000 years, the river served as a travel route for Mountain Dene hunters, who trapped beaver and hunted moose, then used the hides to build skin boats. Explore the Shezal Canyon, marked by endless sweeping curves and swirling eddies. Experience an extraordinary trip in the company of personal guides who openly share their love and knowledge of the Keele River.
