Why go there?

Few places in the United States are as wild and remote as Yukon–Charley Rivers National Preserve. Located in east central Alaska, along the border with Canada, the preserve encompasses 130 miles of the Yukon River and the entire Charley River basin. The preserve protects the undeveloped Charley River and a significant portion of the upper Yukon. The area is home to an abundance of wildlife, including caribou, wolves, bears, and eagles. It is also a popular destination for rafters and canoeists seeking to explore the unspoiled wilderness. With its dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife, Yukon–Charley Rivers National Preserve is a truly special place.
