S.S. Keno National Historic Site

Distance from hotel: <1km

The S.S. Keno is more than just a preserved sternwheeler , it’s a powerful reminder of Yukon’s gold rush era and river transport history. Moored along the scenic banks of the Yukon River in Dawson City, this historic steam-powered vessel once hauled freight and passengers through the wilds of Northern Canada for over five decades.

Now a designated National Historic Site, visitors can walk the decks, explore its preserved cabins and engine room, and imagine life on board during the height of the Klondike boom. A must-see for history buffs and anyone seeking authentic Dawson City attractions.
