Nisutlin River

The Nisutlin River Recreation Site sits along the Nisutlin River in Yukon's backcountry, accessible via the Canol Road.

The site serves as the primary launch point for canoe trips on the river and offers basic amenities including a pit toilet, garbage can, picnic table, and a dedicated boat launch. Campers can overnight here to get an early start on the water.

The Nisutlin — a Tlingit word meaning "quiet waters" — lives up to its name with calm, wide stretches well suited to beginners and families.

The recreation site marks the beginning of a multi-day paddling route where gravel bars and riverbank campsites provide stopping points downstream. The river is also recognized for strong fishing, with productive runs and easy shoreline access throughout.
