Map + Directions
Basic Directions
Although there is no direct highway connection to Yukon-Charley Rivers, two highways serve towns near the preserve boundaries. Driving to Eagle, Alaska along the 161 mile Taylor Highway begins at Tetlin Junction on the Alaska Highway and ends on the banks of the Yukon river, 12 miles upstream from the preserve. It is usually open from mid-April to mid-October and is suitable for cars, trucks and small RV's. The Steese Highway begins in Fairbanks and travels 162 miles to Circle, 14 miles downstream of the preserve boundary. It is open year round, depending upon snow and drifting conditions in winter months.
