White River

The White River is a brook flowing through the mountainous terrain of southwestern Yukon Territory, winding through dense boreal forests. The waterway creates multiple channels as it moves across the landscape, with varying depths and widths depending on the season.

The brook served as a vital transportation route for First Nations peoples, connecting hunting and fishing grounds across the region. This waterway remained an important passage for movement and resource access for generations.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices along the brook's shores, passing down knowledge of seasonal fish migrations and sustainable harvesting methods.

The brook is accessible year-round, though conditions vary considerably between seasons. Visitors should come prepared with sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate gear, as the terrain can be challenging.

The water carries high concentrations of glacial sediment, giving the brook its distinctive milky-white appearance. This coloration comes directly from glaciers upstream and defines the waterway throughout the year.
