Always a favourite. Paddle-wheelers were such a crucial part of the Klondike. The presence of the SS Klondike on the shores of the Yukon River gives opportunity for guided historical tours and plenty of photo opportunities.

Recreational Facility
Built for the 2007 Canada Games, the CGC (as it is referred to by locals) is a world class sports facility. It is the location of several ice rinks, a swimming pool, an indoor walking track, a weight room, etc. If you are feeling the need for some exercise, and have had your fill of the outdoor kind, this is an excellent choice!
