Southern Lakes HEADWATErS oF THE YuKoN rivEr The Southern Lakes network of waterways forms the headwaters of the Yukon river. This vast system drains more than half the Yukon and much of Alaska and flows into the Bering Sea. over 100 years ago, this area featured prominently in the Klondike Gold rush, when stampeders travelled the Chilkoot Trail, rafted across lakes and prospected for gold along the way. Southern Tutchone and Tagish-speaking people of the interior traditionally traded with coastal Tlingit people over the mountain passes. The Southern Lakes region is the home of the Teslin Tlingit Council and the Carcross/Tagish, Kwanlin Dun and Taku river Tlingit First Nations. Beaufort Sea Alaska,USA Yukon Northwest Territories welcome From Atlin to Marsh Lake and southwest to Carcross, the Southern Lakes region is known for its vast waterways, secluded trails and powerful coastal mountains. Whether travelling in your motorhome, camping in the wilderness, or enjoying your stay at an inn or bed & breakfast, you’re sure to find a spot that makes you feel like a sourdough.
