Kluane Lake
Encyclopedia : K : KL : KLU : Kluane Lake
Kluane Lake is located in the southwest area of the Yukon. At approximately 400 square kilometres, and 70 kilometres long, it is the largest lake contained entirely within the territorial border.
Kluane Lake is fed by the Slims River, which is composed of meltwater from the Kaskawulsh Glacier, located within Kluane National Park. It drains into the Kluane River, whose waters flow into the Donjek River, White River, Yukon River, and eventually the Bering Sea.
The Alaska Highway follows most of Kluane Lake's southern border, and the drive offers many spectacular views of the lake. The lake is also known for its whitefish and lake trout fishing.
