The paddlewheel graveyard is tucked secretly among the spruce trees and the west bank of the Yukon River. Once considered the primary mode of transportation in the region, these boats were abandoned when ground travel became more popular. Here the massive wrecks linger, waiting for you to explore the collapsed pile of wooden planks and rotting struts. Take the free ferry across to West Dawson and then access the trail from the provincial campground. A short walk along the beach brings you to the paddle wheel graveyard.
