Teslin Lake Attractions

From Jakes Corner it is worthwhile branching off southward for some 100 km (60 mi.) to Atlin. This little township, a settlement dating from the time of the gold-rush, is charmingly situated on the shore of Lake Atlin. Between Jakes Corner and Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory, the highway stays parallel for some 15 km (91/2 mi.) to Marsh Lake, with its shimmering turquoise waters framed by mountains beyond. Because of its proximity to Whitehorse larger crowds must be expected here than at other lakeside areas.
