Nestled in northern Canada, Yukon is a fascinating travel destination for nature seekers yearning for exciting adventures and things to do while unwinding in nature. Named after the Yukon River, this charming place derives its name from the Gwich'in word Yu-Kun-ah, which means “great river.” Blessed with a picturesque landscape that offers lots of breathtaking natural wonders, this magical place can promise scenic beauty throughout the year as you stay at a cabin rental in Yukon. To explore some of the city’s attractions, other than the Yukon River, you can make your way to Kluane National Park and Reserve, where you can marvel at gleaming lakes, magnificent mountains, and surrounding pines. Planning to get away and enjoy the captivating scenery of this spectacular part of Canada? Check out the best fishing lodges in Yukon, Canada.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots.
