Get a glimpse into Yukon’s riverboat era! Step aboard the S.S. Klondike, a beautifully restored sternwheeler that carried freight and passengers along the mighty Yukon River during the Klondike Gold Rush. This national historic site offers a fascinating look at the era when paddle wheelers were the lifeline of the North, connecting remote communities and bustling gold rush towns.
Wander through the ship’s decks, peek inside the captain’s quarters, and imagine life on board during its heyday. Guided tours and interpretive displays bring history to life. Plan to spend about 45 minutes to an hour exploring this iconic piece of Yukon’s past before continuing your journey through Whitehorse. Or pair with a scenic walk along the Millenium Trail, right next to the boat alongside the river.
