City & Place Guide

A rugged Yukon gem where wilderness meets northern history.

Mayo is a small community in Canada's Yukon Territory, situated along the Stewart River about 350 kilometres north of Whitehorse. Once a hub for silver mining, it retains a frontier character that draws adventurers seeking authentic northern experiences far off the beaten path.

Surrounded by boreal forest, dramatic mountains, and pristine rivers, Mayo serves as a gateway to Keno City and the broader Keno Hill region. The area offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing, fishing, hiking, and experiencing the magic of the midnight sun in summer or the northern lights in winter.

  • •Five Finger Rapids viewpoint — dramatic river scenery along the Stewart River
  • •Binet House Interpretive Centre — local history and cultural exhibits in Mayo itself
  • •Keno Hill — panoramic alpine views and historic mine site exploration
  • •McIntyre Park — peaceful riverside picnicking and birdwatching spot
  • •Hyland Lake — excellent fishing for northern pike and tranquil paddling

Getting around: Mayo has no public transit system or rail service; a personal vehicle or rental car is essential for getting around. The Silver Trail highway connects Mayo to Whitehorse and Keno City. Taxis and rideshares are not reliably available, so visitors should plan transportation carefully before arrival.

Best time: Late June through August offers the best conditions, with long daylight hours, warm temperatures, and full access to hiking and river activities.

Local food: Try fresh-caught northern pike or arctic grayling prepared by local outfitters, and stock up on hearty homestyle meals at the community's small diners before heading into the backcountry.
