The Big Salmon River is one of the most popular rivers in Yukon that is accessed by road.  It rises in Quiet Lake and finishes at Big Salmon Village at its confluence with the Yukon River.  The challenge presented by the few log jams, several short rapids and riffles, and ever present sweepers, puts this trip slightly above the amateur level. The book includes maps on the Yukon River from Big Salmon Village down to Carmacks.
