The Ivvavik National Park Guide

Wilderness at the edge of the world — the Firth River and the Arctic coast

Ivvavik is one of Canada's most remote national parks — a vast wilderness in the northwestern corner of the Yukon, accessible only by charter float plane. There are no roads, no trails, and no facilities. What it offers instead is the Firth River, one of the greatest wilderness whitewater rivers in North America, the calving grounds of the Porcupine caribou herd, and a landscape that has been left completely alone. This guide is for serious wilderness travellers who are ready for the real thing.
