Kathleen Lake


Kathleen Lake is a lake in Yukon, Canada, located south of the town of Haines Junction within Kluane National Park and Reserve. Located at Haines Highway Kilometer 219.7. It hosts a day-use area, a boat launch, a campground, and several hiking trails, including the challenging 3.1 mi ascent to King's Throne, a natural, glacially-formed amphitheater overlooking the lake.
Kathleen Lake is characterized by exceptionally clear waters and the presence of kokanee salmon, a landlocked population of Sockeye living and reproducing solely in freshwater bodies.
Kathleen Lake was named for a girl from Berwickshire County, Scotland, left behind by William "Scotty" Hume, a North-West Mounted Police constable stationed on the Dalton Trail from 1900 to 1902.
