Yukon Ferry at Dawson

The Yukon River finally broke at Dawson City the evening of May 15.

The ferry usually starts running 10-14 days after breakup, depending on river conditions. The Yukon River is still clearing further upriver in Alaska.

Eagle AK had flooding and icebergs in town this year, damaging numerous buldings, including some that were wrecked in the 2009 flood.

Circle AK was completely flooded, with numerous homes ruined. Water levels were up 8' in some place in town.

Now Fort Yukon AK is feeling the effects of the river ice jamming and flooding.

This late spring hasn't been fun for many!

Ferry goes in tomorrow,(Friday 24th) no word on US Customs yet.

Just keep in mind that having the ferry running does not mean that the Top of the World Highway is open - watch for the red line at 511yukon.ca to change to black.

The ferry will get the highway crews across the river so they can get to work on the Top of the World to make it driveable. There likely is some plowing to get done as the highway is not maintained during the winter.

Good points both of you...also need to know when they plan to open customs.
And the George Black Ferry is in the water:).

Just came by the Taylor Highway intersection on our way into Tok. Highway sign says customs is closed.

Still trying to figure out how to work it into our summer without impacting the Haines/Skagway loop.
