Lake Laberge — known in the traditional language of the Ta'an Kwächän and Kwanlin Dün First Nations as Tá'aan — is a large, remote, and strikingly beautiful lake in the south-central Yukon, situated approximately 25 kilometres north of Whitehorse. Stretching 50 kilometres in length and ranging from two to five kilometres wide, it covers roughly 201 square kilometres and represents the last of several large southern lakes that form the headwaters of the Yukon River system. The lake is essentially a dramatic widening of the Yukon River, and its waters are consistently cold year-round. With a mean depth of 54 metres, it is a deep, oligotrophic system that supports a diverse and healthy community of fish species. The lake sits within the traditional territories of the Ta'an Kwächän and Kwanlin Dün First Nations, and its fisheries are managed under Yukon Conservation Waters regulations, reflecting the ecological significance of this remarkable body of water.
