| Gataga River
The Gataga/Kechika Rivers flow through the Rocky Mountain Trench and join the Liard River near Fireside. This is a relaxing 14 nights unguided package for every canoeist who would like to experience the serenity of the Northern Rockies and the Muskwa/Kechika Wilderness area.
We provide you with air transportation from the Northern Rockies Lodge on Muncho Lake - Mile 462 on the Alaska Hwy, flight to Gataga River (Mayfield Lakes). Pick-up service at Fireside is available.
You start your trip approximately 25 miles downstream from the South Gataga Lakes and float out through a remote mountain valley over the Gataga and Kechika Rivers to Fireside on the Alaska Highway. There is excellent fishing on this trip.
Our many years of flying canoeists have shown us that this is a perfect tour for those with some river canoeing experience
