Route Description
Access to Put-In Information: 

Drive to the trail to Yakoun Lake. Portage along hiking trail 1000m to river.

Technical Guide: 

I paddled the entirety of The Yakoun River starting from Yakoun Lake and ending in the ocean. No major rapids, lots of swifts and tight water due to small nature of river. Lots of log jams,  more near top of river and gradually less as you move down.
