Glide through the serene Chilkoot Lake in a motor-assisted canoe and enjoy a beach picnic in Haines.
  • Paddle safely with the help of detailed instructions and a personal floatation device.

  • Use a motor-assisted canoe designed after canoes used by early 20th century trappers and gold miners.

  • Explore the quiet inlets, coves, salmon spawning streams and waterfalls of the lake.

  • Enjoy a beachside picnic of sandwiches and snacks back in Haines after the safari has ended.


Peaceful paddling

Your adventure begins with a safety briefing, paddling instruction, and a fitting for a personal flotation device. Then, you’ll step into the motor-assisted canoe to scout for wildlife in the peaceful Chilkoot Lake. Paddle your canoe away from shore, then let the motor take over as you relax and enjoy the incredible mountain views. We’ll return to Haines for a picnic on the beach.
