Nature
Rampart Canyon is a high-banked canyon and rapids on Alaska’s Yukon River, located downstream of Rampart and upstream of Tanana. Also called Rampart Gorge, the Lower Ramparts, or simply the Ramparts, it forms a narrow, fast-moving stretch of the river at about 226 feet above sea level. In addition to its significance as a notable river passage, the site was once considered for a hydroelectric dam, connecting this remote section of the Yukon to wider development ambitions in interior Alaska.
