Boat up the swift River

[Cordillera]

Hi; does anyone know how far up the swift river it is navigible with a jet boat above Teslin Lake and what the obstacles are? i.e. is there a canyon, or bounders or??? Just thinking about a trip for next year. I might consider lining a canoe up a ways but no info can i find.

Thanks in advance.

where on the swift roiver are you wanting to go?
there are some very narly spots. not sure that you could run it with a jet boat. also with a canoe shed be tough paddling up stream.
ive flown that country quite a bit. could maybe point ya in a better direction

having said that and now looking back on your post your talking about above teslin lake.
teslin river is very manageable. almost take a cruise ship down there.

not sure about the short stint between teslin river and swift lake. will have a look for ya.;p

awesome thanks. I am actually thinking about floating down from the highway. We did a short hunt on the upper section and I have a friend with a raft so we could easily get down to Teslin Lake. I'm curious about what kind of obstacles there are; jet boats don't go that far up that I know of and yet there is a good section of the river below the highway that is a complete float.

thanks in advance.
