The Tatshenshini River ("Shäwshe Chù" in Southern Tutchone) is a river in the southwestern Yukon and the northwestern corner of British Columbia. It originates in British Columbia, near Haines Highway. It flows north into Yukon, then it turns west and south before itreturns into British Columbia, where it flows through the Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Wilderness Park. There it joins the Alsek River, which then flows in the Pacific Ocean in Alaska. It is a very popular river for wilderness rafting trips.

It was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 2004.

History of Exploration

Although this river was used as a vital trade route by First Nations, in particular the coastal Tlingit people, the first Europeans to travel the Tatshenshini River were Jack Dalton and Edward Glave, accompanied by two native guides. After successfully navigating the River, Dalton established a trading post near the top of the Tatshenini, which flourished during the Klondike Gold Rush.
