Walking Around Watson Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada

Welcome to Watson Lake.









Watson Lake has a population of about 850.  There's a lot of services here in this tiny community.  Just go to the Visitor Center and ask for help.  Staff will direct you to whatever Watson Lake has to offer.

Hougen's Department Store

has LOTS of nearly everything.

Kathy's Kitchen offers
home cooked meals.

 

A Class C motorhome towing

a trailer sits in the turnoff near

the Northern Lights Center.

Eric at the world famous

Sign Post Forest.

Over 70,000 signs have been left by visitors.  We HAVE to make a sign and nail it to a free spot on a wooden post.

The Visitor Center

Our Milepost Guide describes the Visitor Center as being behind the Sign Post Forest.  I recommend driving past the Sign Post Forest and taking a right into the Visitor Center Parking Lot, which is quite large.

I bought a short piece of pine
board at the Home Building
Center for our sign.

One of the locals recommended

we fuel up at Tempo.

The Morgan Chaddock Recreation 

Center has a lounge, pool tables,

an indoor ice skating rink & more...
