Whitehorse waterfront properties — your questions answered
What waterfront areas are in and near Whitehorse?
The Yukon River flows through Whitehorse — the city's most defining geographic feature. Riverfront properties in Riverdale on the east bank are the city's most prestigious. Marsh Lake (45 min south) and Lake Laberge (40 min north — made famous by Robert Service's poem 'The Cremation of Sam McGee') are the primary recreational lake markets.
What does Whitehorse riverfront cost?
Riverdale properties with Yukon River views range from $500,000 to $1.2M for detached homes. Direct riverfront is rare — most 'river view' properties see the river from elevated positions. Lake Laberge and Marsh Lake cottages range from $200,000 to $600,000 for waterfront properties. No territorial land transfer tax applies.
What is Lake Laberge like for real estate?
Lake Laberge — 40 km north of Whitehorse — is a 50 km long, cold, clear wilderness lake. 'The Cremation of Sam McGee' by Robert Service immortalised the lake in Canadian literature. Properties are off-grid seasonal cabins to year-round homes, typically $200,000–$500,000 for waterfront. The lake offers excellent fishing (lake trout, northern pike) and kayaking.
What water activities are available near Whitehorse?
The Yukon River downstream from Whitehorse to Dawson City (740 km) is one of the world's great canoe routes — typically a 3-week journey. Miles Canyon just south of Whitehorse is popular for short paddles and hiking. Fishing for Arctic grayling, lake trout, and northern pike is excellent throughout the territory.
