Beaver Creak

As the most westerly community in Canada, Beaver Creek, Yukon is a small community border post and service centre for the Alaska Highway. Home to the White River First Nation, it was previously home to the Upper Tanana People who camped here on their seasonal migrations.

 

Beaver Creek was established as a camp in the early 1900's for the team surveying the Canada-Alaska border. In the mid-1950s, a Canada Customs post was built and the community of Beaver Creek began to develop.

 

It retains its remote charm, situated almost 300 km northwest of Haines Junction, and 457 km from Whitehorse.
