Watson Lake<br />
Gateway to the <strong>Yukon</strong><br />
A true <strong>Yukon</strong> icon, the Watson Lake Sign Post Forest welcomes you to our corner of<br />
the world. Watson Lake became known as <strong>Yukon</strong>’s gateway during construction of the<br />
Alaska Highway in 1942, when a soldier posted the first sign of what would eventually<br />
become thousands. Today, Watson Lake displays the most recognized collection of<br />
signposts in the world. Whimsical man-made forests aside, this unique region is your<br />
introduction to the sprawling boreal forests, mountains and plateaus of Liard River<br />
country—traditional territory of the Kaska Dena of the Liard First Nation.<br />
Over 71,000 signs in Watson Lake’s Sign Post Forest point to places around the world – YG, R. Postma
