S.S. Keno National Historic Site West side of highway. The S.S. Keno is a National Historic Site. It survives as one of the many sternwheelers which traveled the lakes and rivers of the Yukon. Prior to air or road service, the sternwheelers were the very lifeblood of the Yukon’s economic and social life. For half a century the steamboats navigated between Whitehorse and Dawson City, and between St. Michael, Alaska and Dawson, some 1,700 miles (2,3736 km) of waterway, opening the Canadian west and north.
