This map is not intended to be used as a navigational aid.
Lower Beaver Creek can be accessed by wheel aircraft landing on gravel bars in the vicinity of Victoria Creek near the Refuge's upstream border. However, the most common visitor access to lower Beaver Creek is probably via the upper segment of Beaver Creek, a designated Wild and Scenic River. Upper Beaver Creek can be reached from the Steese Highway via U.S. Creek Road then launching into Nome Creek which flows into Beaver Creek a few miles below its origin. During periods of normal and high water, lower Beaver Creek can also be accessed by traveling up the stream from the Yukon in a shallow draft river boat. The Yukon River bridge is 96 miles downstream from the mouth of Beaver Creek. Trail Description: Lower Beaver Creek flows in an extremely convoluted channel through the largest area of the Yukon Flats - the heart of the productive lowlands that contain thousands of lakes. Many interesting features exist in the lowlands, including sloughs. oxbow lakes, and the other attributes of an active alluvial river system that form the variety of micro-environnents characteristic of the Yukon Flats. The stream flows through the center of Alaska's most productive waterfowl rearing area, one of the most productive in North America. The lower stream provides quality sport fishing for resident fish species and sheefish.
