SOUTHERN LAKES - TRAILS AND WATERWAYS
A PLAYGROUND OF WATERWAYS AND TRAILS beckons explorers to the Southern Lakes region. For centuries, the area's high mountain passes were important travel and trading tours for First Nations people. A route through one of these passes, the Chilkoot Trail, gaines notoriety as the gateway to headwaters of the Yukon River that ferried thousands of gold seekers to the Klondike gold fields.

The Historic Trail of '98, Gold Rush & Alaska Highway; along with the Rivers, Lakes, Canyons and Majestic Mountains dominate our region.
