Drive south for 18 km to Bonanza Creek. This is where prospectors struck the first gold material that kicked off the Klondike Gold Rush. Along the way, you’ll also pass Dredge No. 4, a National Historic Site. There are some self-guided trails in the area and a viewpoint at Cripple Hill.
Old paddle boats that plied the Yukon are drydocked, after a fashion, down the Yukon River opposite the town. To reach this you must take the free ferry across the river and walk through the government camping area along the river. Where the camping area ends, get out onto the river's shore and walk maybe 200 m further. These are dilapidated tetanus traps but it's fascinating to crawl around in and on them.
Preserved frontier buildings and boardwalks, saloons, and a vintage sternwheeler recall the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush days. You can visit the goldfields, the Commissioner’s residence, and a famous poet’s historic log cabin.
Discover the history and culture of the first people of the Klondike, the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in.
