During the gold rush, the Teslin / Yukon River became the secondary route to the gold fields. It was favored by those who wanted to avoid the Chilkoot Trail and the hazardous White Horse Rapids. There was some commercial activity here into the 1940s but has since returned to its natural state.
This is a land deeply infused with a rich and colourful history that still supports a healthy population of muskrat, beaver, fox, wolf, bear, eagle, trumpeter swan, and moose and spectacular Canadian wilderness.
