Mayo — Village of Mayo Waterfront and Keno Hill Road Staging
Mayo sits at the confluence of the Stewart and Mayo rivers, deep in the heart of Silver Trail country. It’s a proper small Yukon town — hardware store, gas, a hotel, and a museum covering the silver mining boom that built this place. For anyone running the Mayo to Minto Lake Mining Road or the Livingstone–Scroggie Creek circuit, this is your last confirmed fuel and resupply before the plateau. The waterfront area gives you a good look at the Stewart River — wide, cold, and unforgiving — before you head into the backcountry.
The Silver Trail (Hwy 11) branches east off the Klondike Highway at Stewart Crossing and runs 60 km to Mayo. Road is paved the whole way. Cell service is functional in town but drops off hard once you leave. The Binet House Interpretive Centre is worth a ten-minute stop for the mining history context alone — it’ll make the old camp ruins you’re about to drive past mean something.
