The community of Watson Lake

Watson Lake is situated on the Alaska Highway, in the southeastern corner of Yukon near the border with British Columbia. The territory's third largest community,  Watson Lake is home to the Liard First Nation and is also within the Traditional Territory of the Kaska people.

Watson Lake is home to the famous sign-post forest, the incredible Northern Lights Space and Science Centre, and the gateway to the exciting history and breathtaking scenery of Yukon. The community offers many ways to enjoy the outdoors, including watching the incredible aurora borealis illuminate the night sky with dancing displays of colour.
