Peaceful paddling

Your adventure begins with a safety briefing, paddling instructions, and a fitting for a personal flotation device. Then, you’ll step into the motor-assisted canoe to scout for wildlife in the peaceful Chilkoot Lake. Paddle as a group and let the motor take over so you can relax and take photos of the incredible mountain views. We’ll then return to Haines for a picnic on the beach.
