About
Has two 1.5 to 2.5 km connected interpretive trail loops. One follows ridge, and the other follows Moose Creek to the Stewart River (Nächo Nyak Gé). The trail goes through open forest to willows on the floodplain. Look for old spruce trees along the ridge. Download the trail map. The river and creek have popular fishing holes. Small ponds mean mosquitoes are common in the summer. They attract birds such as the northern waterthrush, Wilson’s warbler and common yellowthroat.
On the Klondike Highway at kilometre 559. 36 campsites, 4 of them pull-through. All campsites are first come, first served.
The trails are also used by wildlife. Make noise and bring bear spray.
